About the team
Case Preparation and Presentation (CPP) is a multidisciplinary team mainly responsible for preparing and presenting "case to answer" cases referred to the Fitness to Practise Committee for fair and timely conclusions.
About the role
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 as well as conducting advocacy in substantive and non-substantive hearings before our practice committees. In addition, they prepare and present High Court interim order extension applications covering the UK's jurisdictions as well as having the opportunity to advise on PSA and registrant appeals filed in the High Court.
About you
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 good quality adjudication outcomes for registrants referred to the NMC in a non-adversarial and 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.
