Full time (35 hours per week)
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.

The role involves writing, editing, proofreading, designing and commissioning to bring our policy, programmes and services to life. You will collaborate with colleagues from across the organisation – including policy, research, events and services – and key external stakeholders to develop new content to promote our work.
The successful candidate will have experience in digital content creation for a range of channels, experience of copywriting and editing to a high standard, and excellent skills in design and project management. We’re also looking for someone who can demonstrate creative thinking and collaboration.
In return we offer excellent terms and conditions of employment, including:
Up to 31 days annual leave
Hybrid working (1-3 days a week working from home)
Up to 12% employer’s pension contribution
Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
Life cover, and more

Closing date: 23:59 on Sunday 10 August 2026

The General Council of the Bar aims to recruit a talented workforce and values the diversity in background, skills and experience of its staff. We are committed to providing equality of opportunity for all job applicants irrespective of race, sex, disability, age, religion or belief, ****** orientation, maternity or pregnancy, marital or civil partnership status or gender reassignment.
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.
