Job Title: Services Coordinator
Hours: Full-Time
Salary: £29,005
Location: High Holborn, London
The Bar Council is the voice of the barrister profession in England and Wales. We lead, represent and support the Bar in the public interest, championing the rule of law and access to justice. Our nearly 18,000 members – self-employed and employed barristers – make up a united Bar that aims to be strong, inclusive, independent and influential.
As the General Council of the Bar, we’re the approved regulator for all practising barristers in England and Wales. We delegate our statutory regulatory functions to the operationally independent Bar Standards Board (BSB) as required by the Legal Services Act 2007.
Working as a direct report to the Senior Services Coordinator, the Services Coordinator plays a key role in ensuring the day-to-day delivery of the portfolio of services offered to the Bar Council’s members, affiliated organisations, associations, and other relevant individuals. This role will also be expected to participate in the development of new services for the Bar and will assist the Senior Services Coordinator with any relevant work required, including for example market research, data gathering and product testing. There are two Services Coordinator roles within the Services Team so this role will work closely in collaboration with the other Services Coordinator.
The Services Coordinator will support services including the Pupillage Gateway recruitment portal, the Direct Access Portal and the Bar Representation Fee payment and rewards systems. The Services Coordinator will also provide administrative support to the Services Team with tasks including setting up meetings, writing up meeting notes, and keeping process documentation up to date.

In return the Bar Council offers excellent terms and conditions of employment, including:

• Up to 31 days annual leave
• Up to 12% employer’s pension contribution
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• Life cover, and more

The Bar Council is part of the ‘Disability Confident’ scheme. Candidates with a disability who meet the essential criteria for this role will be guaranteed an interview under this scheme.

The independent, practicing Bar of England and Wales is more than 16,500 strong and plays a crucial role in upholding the principles of government accountability under law and vindication of legal rights through the courts.
A strong and independent Bar exists to serve the public. As specialists, independent advocates, barristers enable people to uphold their legal rights, often acting on behalf of the most vulnerable members of society.
The Bar makes a vital contribution to the efficient and effective operation of criminal and civil courts. It provides a pool of talent, from increasingly diverse backgrounds, from which a significant proportion of the judiciary is drawn, and on whose independence the rule of law and our democratic way of life depends.
