• Proven experience in providing legal advice at the police station.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to remain calm and composed under pressure.
• A client-focused, empathetic approach and a commitment to high standards of representation.
• Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment.
• Flexibility to cover out-of-hours and weekend shifts as part of a rota.
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is preferred but not essential.
