Lecturer in Liverpool Law Clinic

The School wishes to appoint a permanent post at Lecturer (Grade 7 or 8 depending on experience) to add to the existing strengths of the Liverpool Law Clinic at the Liverpool Law School. Applications for either a full time or part time (0.5) position will be considered.

You will be expected to train, assess and supervise students in the Clinic who are working on both Law Clinic modules and on other clinical projects and contribute to the wider work of the Clinic and Law Department.  We are seeking an experienced special educational needs (SEN) lawyer or someone with a proven interest in this area with skills and knowledge to enable a transition to SEN law with appropriate support.

You will be employed as a solicitor / employed barrister, will have conduct of the cases on which students work, and will therefore be involved in providing free legal advice to members of the public.  The work of the practitioners in the Clinic is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board.  You will be expected to hold a current practicing certificate to be eligible for appointment, or to provide evidence that you are entitled to obtain one (e.g. an email from the SRA to this effect, confirming you are on the roll).
