Job Description

Make a Real Impact - Newly Qualified Solicitor (Health & Care Regulatory)
Location: Flexible across Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds, or London | Hybrid Working Model
I'm currently recruiting on behalf of a leading UK commercial law firm with an exceptional reputation in the health, social care, and education sectors. This is an exciting opportunity for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join a nationally recognised Health & Care Regulatory team-a rare chance to get involved in truly meaningful work with a supportive, award-winning practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out This isn't just another legal role. It's your opportunity to:

• Work on high-profile, high-impact matters across public and independent sector clients.
• Join a values-led firm with 11 consecutive years of revenue and profit growth-ensuring long-term stability and investment in people.
• Thrive in a genuinely flexible hybrid environment, with trust and autonomy built into their working culture.
• Be part of a team where development is a priority, with tailored learning, real progression opportunities, and a strong mentorship culture.
• Do work that matters, from Court of Protection cases to safeguarding and mental health law-where you can make a tangible difference.

About the Team The Health & Care Regulatory team comprises 60 specialists working across four UK offices. They're known for their practical, client-focused advice and for being approachable, collaborative, and down-to-earth. The team works flexibly across locations and offers a mix of remote and office-based working.
What You'll Be Doing You'll be advising clients across a wide range of legal and regulatory areas, both contentious and non-contentious, including:

• Court of Protection litigation and human rights issues
• Inquests, mental health, and safeguarding matters
• Patient safety, serious incident response, complaints, and disputes
• Regulatory enforcement (CQC, HSE, Ofsted)
• Education law, children law, and governance in health/social care

You'll manage your own caseload, support more complex cases, undertake advocacy, and contribute to business development.
Who They're Looking For This role would suit a newly qualified solicitor who:

• Is passionate about health, social care, or education law
• Has excellent communication, organisational, and analytical skills
• Can work confidently and collaboratively with both clients and colleagues
• Brings a practical, commercial approach to problem-solving
• Is eager to learn, grow, and make a positive impact

Key Benefits

• Minimum 25 days' holiday (plus the option to buy up to 5 more)
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• Generous pension contribution
• Private medical insurance (Vitality)
• Biennial private health assessments (Nuffield Health)
• Life assurance & Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Hybrid/flexible working model
