How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Job description

    NQ Criminal Defence Solicitors - This one’s for you!

    Coming towards the end of your training contract and wondering “What’s next?”

    Maybe you’ve loved your criminal seat, built up valuable experience and now feel ready to take that next step... But there’s no room in the inn at your current firm. We’ve all been there!

    I’m working with one of the UK’s leading criminal defence firms, who are looking for their next investment piece.

    About the firm

    This is a firm with an outstanding reputation across criminal defence, fraud and regulatory work, known for handling complex, high-profile matters and delivering exceptional client care.

    Based in Manchester, they’re a forward-thinking firm with a strong presence in the legal market, and a fantastic social media presence to match!

    They work with both businesses and individuals who require expert, strategic representation across some of the most challenging and high-profile cases.

    The opportunity

    They’re looking for an NQ Criminal Defence Solicitor who is:

    Ambitious and driven
    Passionate about criminal defence
    Keen to build a long-term career within a specialist firm
    Confident working with clients and handling responsibility
    Ready to learn, develop and take on complex work
    Most importantly, they’re looking for someone they can genuinely invest in and develop.

    You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced criminal defence lawyers, gain exposure to complex matters and continue building your expertise within a highly regarded team.

    Who are they looking for?

    Ideally, you’ll be approaching qualification with criminal defence experience from your training contract and be ready to hit the ground running as an NQ.

    Not quite NQ? No problem. If you’re 1–3 PQE with criminal defence experience, I’d still love to hear from you.

    This could be a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a firm where there’s room to grow, develop and build a genuinely exciting career.

    Interested?
