Head of Members’ Services

‘Providing access to justice for over 500 years’

The Faculty of Advocates is the professional body to which all Advocates in Scotland belong. It has a rich and significant history, dating back to the 16^th century, and promotes and supports the administration of justice and the rule of law in Scotland. The Faculty is responsible for the criteria and procedures for admission/removal to the public office of Advocates, and regulating the professional practice, conduct and discipline of Advocates.

The organisation also consists of Faculty Services Limited which provides a range of clerking and administrative services to Advocates.

The Faculty is looking to appoint a Head of Members’ Services, to play a key role in a period of quite significant change for the organisation, ensuring that the Faculty is well positioned to meet the current and future requirements of its members (Advocates). The objective is to redefine member experience, modernise process and maximise the effectiveness of relationships internally.
