Are you a passionate advocate looking for a meaningful career move?

At Winston Solicitors, we help families navigate the complex world of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We are looking for a CHC Appeals & Advocacy Specialist to join our dedicated team.

This isn't just a "legal" role - it s a role for a communicator, a problem-solver, and a compassionate guide. Whether you are a lawyer looking to retrain, a health or social care professional (Nurse/Social Worker) seeking a new challenge, or an advocate with a sharp mind, we want to hear from you.

What You ll Do:

• Advocate: Represent families in assessments and appeal panels, arguing the case for their loved ones' care funding.
• Advise: Guide clients through the eligibility criteria with empathy and clarity.
• Analyse: Review evidence and draft persuasive submissions to challenge NHS decisions.
• Manage: Navigate administrative complaints and processes to ensure progress for your clients.

What We re Looking For:

We value personality, drive, and empathy above specific job titles. You might be a great fit if:

• You have excellent client care skills and can handle sensitive situations with tact.
• You are a "completer-finisher" who can manage a busy caseload and meet deadlines.
• You have strong writing skills and an analytical mind.
• Backgrounds considered: Law (Solicitors/CILEX), Nursing, Social Work, Paralegals, or professional Advocacy.

Why Join Winston Solicitors?

• Meaningful Work: You will see the direct impact of your work on families' lives every day.
• Specialist Training: CHC is a niche area; we will provide the training you need to become an expert.
• Flexible Future: The role is initially office-based to ensure you have all the support and training you need. Once you are established and "up to speed," we offer the flexibility of hybrid/home working.
• Benefits: Competitive salary, professional development, and a friendly office culture with free parking.
