About the team and what we do
The NMC’s largest team of lawyers and paralegals prides itself on its collegiate and supportive environment. Lawyers are supported by a head and senior lawyers who provide technical supervision and support with professional development.

Our lawyers review and prepare fitness to practise cases for our practice committees as well as preparing applications to be heard in the High Court.

This role has a focus on advocacy and involves presenting hearings regularly before the NMC’s practice committees. Our hearings range from straightforward to complex and are heard both virtually and at our hearing centres in London and Edinburgh. Lawyers with the relevant rights of audience can also expect to appear regularly in the County Court and High Court or Court of Session.

Your role and impact

You will be a lawyer who may already have experience of regulatory law (but if not, you should demonstrate an interest in this area) and who will be committed to helping us to deliver high quality adjudication outcomes for registrants referred to the NMC in a person-centred way. You will be an excellent communicator, whether that be in oral, written or presentation form. You will also have a high level of attention to detail and will have the ability to quality assure your own work with minimal supervision.
