About Kinship

We are Kinship. The leading kinship care charity in England and Wales. We’re here for kinship carers – friends or family who step up to raise a child when their parents aren’t able to. 

Together, let’s commit to change for kinship families

About the role

We’re seeking a solicitor to lead the development of a new legal advice service for kinship carers. Joining an established advice team in a growing national charity, this is a new role focussed on delivering specialist legal advice to individuals and changing policy and practice through strategic casework.

Importantly, the postholder will have the opportunity to shape the role to best meet the needs of Kinship and kinship carers.

You’ll be part of a skilled and supportive team who keep kinship carers at the heart of their service.

Our Advice Team supports kinship carers in complex and challenging situations. It can be a tough role at times, so we prioritise adviser wellbeing and are developing a trauma informed approach to our advice work that we’ll be embedding across the service.

The type of person we’re looking for

You will be a 3 year PQE solicitor with strong knowledge of child law, family court processes and related safeguarding legislation. You will have the ability to become a leading expert in kinship care law. You will bring a compassionate and practical approach to supporting kinship carers to navigate legal challenges, access support, and achieve the best outcomes for the children in their care.

You will understand the broader systemic challenges faced by kinship carers, be a strategic thinker and have an interest in service development and policy influencing.

You will need to be resilient and be able to remain calm in difficult situations. You will be firm, sensitive and professional in your approach and will be clear and assertive as you identify key issues and support kinship carers to get their needs met quickly and effectively.

You will understand how important it is that kinship carers feel confident in making their own decisions with the right information and advice so that they can build their own knowledge and confidence rather than dependency.

Key responsibilities include:

· Provide high quality, people centred, specialist legal advice and assistance to kinship carers in England and Wales on kinship care law-related matters.

· Undertake casework and strategic casework.

· Lead the development of Kinship’s legal offer to kinship carers.

· Provide support, resources and training to colleagues in the advice team to support the quality of legal advice.

· Ensure our legal service is compliant with all relevant regulatory requirements.

· Work with our Policy and Campaigns team to identify opportunities for influencing policy and practice through strategic casework, litigation, policy work or campaigning.

· Support colleagues in our Training and Website teams to develop legally accurate content and resources.

Essential knowledge, abilities, skills and experience include:

· A minimum of 3 years post-qualification experience (PQE) in child law, family law, or closely related fields.

· Experience in both private and public law child-related cases.

· Strong knowledge of child law, family court processes, and related safeguarding legislation.

· Ability to provide clear, accurate, and practical legal advice tailored to the individual circumstances of vulnerable people.

· Excellent written skills and research skills.

· Strong organisational skills to prioritise tasks effectively, meet deadlines, and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

· Confident in using digital tools, and an ability to learn new tools.

•Strong ethical standards and a passion for supporting vulnerable individuals to obtain access to justice.
