About the team

We are currently recruiting for a Part time lawyer to join our Case Presentation Team. The role is available on a permanent contract for up to 24 hours per week. Whilst we operate a Hybrid working policy this role will require in person working as you will be representing the NMC at Hearings.

At the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), our Case Preparation and Presentation (CPP) team sits at the heart of protecting the public and upholding professional standards across the UK. As the largest legal team within the organisation, CPP plays a critical role in delivering a high-quality legal service within the Professional Regulation directorate.

We work on complex, often high-profile fitness to practise cases, ensuring that concerns about nurses, midwives and nursing associates are handled fairly, efficiently and with compassion. Our work directly supports public confidence in healthcare professionals and the integrity of the professions we regulate.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment made up of Lawyers, Senior Lawyers, Paralegals, Case Managers and operational colleagues—people who are committed, supportive, and united by a shared purpose.

Your role and impact

As a Lawyer within CPP, you’ll manage a varied and challenging caseload spanning jurisdictions across the UK. From early case analysis through to hearings and advocacy, you’ll play a key role in progressing cases that truly matter.

Your work will include:

Preparing and conducting complex fitness to practise cases, including hearings involving both represented and unrepresented registrants
Delivering clear, confident oral and written advocacy before tribunals and courts
Preparing—and where appropriate presenting—High Court Interim Order extension applications
Identifying appropriate case resolutions, including alternative disposals where suitable
Working closely within multidisciplinary teams to ensure cases are progressed efficiently and effectively

Beyond your caseload, you’ll contribute to the ongoing development of the NMC’s legal community, collaborating with colleagues across the organisation and engaging in continuous professional development.

This is a role where your decisions have real-world impact—on public safety, professional standards, and individuals’ careers.

What you’ll bring

You’re a qualified legal professional with a strong foundation in advocacy and a genuine interest in regulatory law. You’re comfortable working autonomously while managing competing priorities, and you bring both rigour and empathy to your work.

We’re looking for someone who has:

A current UK practising certificate (Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive)
Proven advocacy experience (tribunal and/or court)
Experience in regulatory law—ideally within healthcare—or a strong motivation to develop in this area

Alongside your experience, you’ll demonstrate:

Excellent written, oral and presentation skills
Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a complex caseload and meet tight deadlines
Sound judgement and confident decision-making
A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with a wide range of colleagues
A compassionate, people-centred approach aligned with our values

If you’re looking for a role where your legal expertise contributes to meaningful outcomes—and where you’ll be supported to grow and develop within a purpose-driven organisation—we’d like to hear from you.
