A law firm in Essex are looking for a family locum to help out from the middle of February while they recruit permanently for the role. You will be handling a mixed caseload of legal aid and privately funded matters and you will need to be self-sufficient as there will not be secretarial/paralegal support.
 
This is a full-time office-based role, so no hybrid or remote working is available for this one.

Emma Ireland LLB AIRP is a failed novelist and accidental poet who writes mostly about politics and social issues. She's either a bloody commie or a bourgeois sell-out depending on whether you listen to her Dad or those who strongly disapprove of Waitrose trifles. After studying law at university she chucked it all in to move to Italy and teach Italian business people how to do their jobs in English. After ten years of wine and sunshine, she returned to the UK and is now a recruitment consultant and freelance writer. At least until that unfinished novel makes her a millionaire.
