A career with the NMC

Lawyer - Investigations

About the role

Our lawyers provide advice to our eight teams of investigators, who work in either our London or Edinburgh office. We are delighted that we have the opportunity to grow the Legal Team within Investigations. We are open to considering applications for either office. We are also open to considering applications from candidates who are interested in part time hours.

As an Investigations Lawyer, you’ll play an important role in ensuring that fitness to practise investigations are conducted in a way that properly protects the public at the earliest opportunity in accordance with our statutory obligations. Our lawyers provide guidance on high profile cases including those with police involvement, cases arising from public inquiries and cases receiving national media coverage.

Why join us?

• It is an exciting time to join the Investigations Legal Team as we continue to implement our new strategic approach and improvements to the way we work. We encourage our lawyers to contribute to strategic projects that involve working with colleagues across the directorate.
• We support professional development. Several of our lawyers, past and present, have judicial and legal advisor roles.
• We are open to considering flexible working. Some of our investigation lawyers enjoy flexible working patterns and/or reduced hours to encourage a healthy work life balance. Please get in touch if you want to discuss flexible working opportunities.
