VACANCIES: Part time peer reviewers needed for Criminal and Children’s Quality Assurance Schemes

We are looking to recruit solicitors to join our current panel of peer reviewers for both the Criminal and Children’s Quality Assurance Schemes.

Peer reviewers contribute to the quality assurance process by independently assessing legal work against established standards, helping to ensure high-quality services and identify opportunities for improvement.

Join our peer review team and use your experience to support excellence in practice, promote learning, and help drive quality.
