Adjudicator (Lawyer, Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive)

Requirements of the role

You must be either: a solicitor, barrister, chartered legal executive or have the equivalent legal professional status, with an entitlement to practise in England and Wales. You will also have significant experience in an environment where decision-making is required.

This role needs someone who has a solid grounding of skills, experience and judgement to reach reasoned and accurate decisions quickly. Our decisions require a detailed analysis of complex, technical, and often large amounts of information and evidence. You must demonstrate that you have sound and objective judgment, strong analytical skills and solid writing skills.

You will be accountable for making clear, reasoned and proportionate decisions based on applying the relevant legal framework, policy and criteria to achieve outcomes that protect the public interest and mitigate regulatory risk. These include decisions on fining an individual or firm, imposing a regulatory control, rebuking an individual or firm, imposing conditions, intervening into a firm, considering an application for the payment of money from the compensation fund and reviewing a decision made by a decision maker in the operational team.
