The Role

• Developing towards independently managing your own portfolio of hearing loss and industrial disease claims.

About You

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Paralegal or within a legal environment.
• Experience of personal injury litigation would be advantageous but is not essential.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Strong communication skills with a genuine commitment to delivering exceptional client care.
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to your work.
• The ambition to build a long-term career within specialist litigation.
