Panel Accreditation Manager

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with proven management experience and a keen interest in AvMA’s unique work supporting people affected by healthcare harm and promoting patient safety and justice by driving forward our AvMA Panel Accreditation programme. AvMA is a charity which was set up over 40 years ago. We were the first body to devise an accreditation scheme for lawyers specialising in claimant clinical negligence work. AvMA has the longest running accreditation scheme, it is widely considered to be the most rigorous scheme and securing AvMA accreditation is widely considered to be a mark of excellence by lawyers.

AvMA is a small, independent charity which due to generous legacies is comparably financially secure although not without its challenges. AvMA has always punched above its weight and was instrumental in leading change for patient safety including the introduction of a statutory duty of candour. AvMA has achieved a tremendous amount and gained the admiration and the respect of many stakeholders. The Panel Accreditation Manager will guide AvMA accreditation through the next phase of its journey, including progressing the Certificates of Competence Scheme for junior lawyers and considering the need for refining areas of our existing panel accreditation scheme to possibly include a discreet complex brain injury.

Please apply with your CV and a covering letter that sets out how you meet the essential criteria, which can be uploaded here.
