Committee vacancies
Bar Council committee vacancies
We have two vacancies:
Young Barristers' Committee vacancies
The Young Barristers’ Committee (YBC) is recruiting for new members to help us champion and support junior barristers.
We are the voice of junior barristers at the Bar Council. We ensure that the things that matter to junior members are heard by Bar Council, Government and the wider legal sector. We do this by conducting research and issuing guidance on issues important to our members, engaging with and informing Bar Council outputs and priorities and by building a strong community of junior barristers who represent the whole of the junior Bar.
We would welcome applications from all of those who have been eligible for a full practising certificate for fewer than 7 years. We are particularly interested in ensuring that our committee is as diverse as the barristers we represent and welcome applicants from a range of practice areas, geographic location and protected characteristics.
To apply, please send a short application consisting of a profile and an issue you would like the YBC to work on, of no more than 200 words, to [email protected] by Monday 12 January 2026. Similarly, please get in touch should have any questions about the process.
Employed Barristers' Committee vacancies
The Employed Barristers’ Committee (EBC) is recruiting for new members to help us champion and support employed barristers.
The Employed Barristers' Committee represents and promotes the interests of the employed Bar within and beyond the Bar Council. Its membership includes barristers from a wide range of career backgrounds, from across the country.
We would welcome applications from practitioners across the Employed Bar. We are particularly interested in ensuring that our committee is as diverse as the barristers we represent and welcome applicants from a range of practice areas, geographic location and protected characteristics.
To apply, please send a short application consisting of a profile and an issue you would like the EBC to work on, of no more than 200 words, to [email protected] by Monday 12 January 2026. Similarly, please get in touch should have any questions about the process.
