Now you are looking for the opportunity to make leadership a formal part of your career. You will ideally have:\n\n, • Qualified Solicitor status with a current practising certificate or Chartered Legal Executive (FCILEx) qualification.\n, • Strong Probate and Estate Administration experience.\n, • A genuine passion for coaching, mentoring and developing others.\n, • The ability to motivate, inspire and bring out the best in people.\n, • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.\n, • The ambition to build a long-term leadership career within a growing national legal organisation.\nCould this be the role that moves your career from technical expert to future legal leader? With a culture that actively promotes from within, this is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious legal professional who wants a clear progression pathway and the opportunity to build towards senior leadership.Benefits\n\n, • Salary of £40,000 - £60,000 depending on experience.\n, • A genuine leadership role with no traditional fee-earning pressures.\n, • Hybrid working.\n, • Small technical caseload designed to maintain legal expertise, not drive billing.\n, • Excellent progression opportunities within a growing national law firm.\n, • Clear pathway towards senior leadership positions.\n, • Med-icash scheme.\n, • Life assurance.\n, • Structured training, coaching and professional development.\n, • Opportunity to influence and shape the future of a successful Probate department.\n, • A collaborative culture where talent is recognised and promoted from within.\nThe best legal leaders don't just manage files.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced apprenticeship quality professional who wants a genuinely influential role - working directly with senior leadership to shape quality strategy, strengthen delivery and ensure the businesses remain continuously Ofsted-ready.

Your remit will include:\n\n • Leading the quality strategy across all three training businesses\n, • Owning and driving the SAR and QIP\n, • Leading organisational Ofsted readiness and inspection preparation\n, • Conducting deep dives, quality reviews and themed audits\n, • Monitoring achievement, retention, learner progress and other key quality measures\n, • Ensuring compliance with apprenticeship funding rules and regulatory requirements\n, • Maintaining robust IQA and EQA processes\n, • Developing and coaching trainers, assessors and delivery teams\n, • Driving observations of teaching, learning and assessment\n, • Improving standardisation and consistency across the group\n, • Supporting safeguarding, Prevent and wider compliance activity\n, • Providing quality and performance reporting to senior leadership and governance\n, • Helping integrate quality standards and processes across three historically separate businesses\n, • Managing and supporting a small quality/IQA team\n Who we're looking for We're particularly interested in somebody with:\n\n, • Strong quality leadership experience within apprenticeships\n, • A strong understanding of apprenticeship delivery and operations - not just quality assurance\n, • Significant experience preparing for and supporting Ofsted inspections\n, • Previous experience as an Ofsted nominee, deputy nominee or someone who has worked very closely alongside the nominee\n, • Strong knowledge of the EIF/inspection environment, SAR, QIP and quality improvement\n, • Good understanding of apprenticeship funding rules and compliance\n, • Experience of IQA, teaching and learning observations and quality improvement activity\n, • The confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and drive change\n, • A hands-on mentality - somebody comfortable getting into the detail rather than operating purely strategically\n, • The ability to work across multiple businesses and bring people together around a consistent quality approach\n You might already be operating as a Head of Quality, Head of Quality & Compliance or Quality Director.
