Costs Officer

The role

We are seeking an experienced costs officer to join our finance team.  The responsibilities of the post will depend on the experience of the successful candidate, but applicants will need at least 3 years’ experience of civil legal aid billing and knowledge of inter partes costs recovery would also be beneficial.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape the structure of the team and we would love to hear from applicants with an interest in creating new systems and improving efficiency.

We envisage this being a full-time position, but we will consider applications from candidates seeking to work part-time or on a consultancy basis.

The job description for the vacancy can be read here.

About us

We are a friendly team, and it is important to us that our employees enjoy their work and know that their contribution is valued.  We have a strong commitment to training the next generation of legal aid lawyers and we try to ensure that all of our staff have opportunities to progress within the firm.

We have lots of social events for staff throughout the year and we are committed to looking after the mental health of our staff, from keeping our kitchen stocked with fruit to offering access to targeted wellbeing support and healthcare.

We prefer to publish a salary range for all our vacancies, but on this occasion it is genuinely dependent on experience and will reflect the specialist knowledge and skills that the successful candidate will bring to the post. We would be happy to discuss salary expectations with candidates at any stage in the recruitment process.

Applications should be made by sending a copy of your CV and a covering letter of no more than 750 words explaining why you believe you are the right person for the job to jobs@bhattmurphy.co.uk.  The closing date for applications is Friday 11 October 2024.
