Are you passionate about using your skills to help people when they need it most?
At Anthony Collins Solicitors, we’re driven by a clear purpose - to improve lives, communities, and society. We are now looking for a Legal Assistant to join our Clinical Negligence & Personal Injury team, working in our niche Claims Against Public Authorities specialist group. This permanent role is Birmingham-based with hybrid working, offering the flexibility to combine time in the office with working from home.
This is no ordinary legal support role. You’ll be part of a team representing individuals who have experienced abuse, injury, or breaches of their Human Rights as a result of actions or decisions by public authorities, such as social services. Working alongside experienced lawyers and a Partner, you’ll help deliver high-quality client service and make sure cases progress smoothly and effectively.
What you’ll be doing
* Communicating with clients with empathy and professionalism, often in sensitive and emotionally challenging circumstances.
* Drafting correspondence, reports, and legal documents under supervision.
* Obtaining and reviewing medical, social care, and other records to support case preparation.
* Attending client meetings and preparing materials for case discussions.
* Supporting the efficient running of the team through file management, compliance, and administrative tasks.
What we're looking for
* Previous legal experience (personal injury or similar is an advantage).
* Strong communication and listening skills, with the ability to work sensitively with clients.
* Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
* Proficiency with IT systems and legal databases.
* A proactive, solution-focused mindset.
* A legal qualification or knowledge is desirable but not essential.
What's in it for you?
* Hybrid working.
* 25 days holiday, 2 gift days at Christmas.
* The opportunity to give back and have 3 days available for social purpose volunteering.
* For Birmingham Colleagues, we have a newly refurbished office with an onsite café and free access to an on-site gym.
* All IT equipment and support for effective home working
* An excellent technical training programme and opportunities to grow sector expertise
