Help Shape Good Governance at the SLCC

The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) is the independent body responsible for handling complaints about legal practitioners in Scotland and providing oversight of the relevant regulatory bodies. We play an important role in maintaining public confidence in legal services and the sector as a whole and are preparing for significant change as we implement the reforms brought in by the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2025

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
• Independence of judgement
• A commitment to integrity, accountability and public service
• The confidence to provide constructive challenge where appropriate

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to public service in Scotland, supporting good governance and helping ensure public resources are used effectively and responsibly in what is a key sector for our communities and economy.

You will join an organisation that values openness, integrity, continuous improvement and constructive challenge as we progress much needed reforms in the legal sector.
