Legal Preparation Adviser
About The GMC
We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate, and take action if needed.
The Legal Team are looking for a Legal Preparation Adviser to prepare Fitness to practise cases, and Interim Orders Tribunals work, for presentation to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), and associated litigation.
Current expectations are that following in-person induction and training, staff are in the office one day every fortnight on a set team schedule, with additional in-office days as required.
We are happy to consider a range of flexible working options. Flexible working requests will be considered in line with the policy.
You can find more detail on the tasks you will undertake, and the essential skills required for the role, in the job description.
How To Apply For The Role
If you are interested in applying for this role, please provide a CV, a statement which demonstrates your reason for applying and answer the specific questions, provide examples where possible. Please note, applications submitted without this information will be considered incomplete and not shortlisted.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
