Position
As a Motor Injury Team Leader / Supervisor, you will oversee and manage a team of eight junior fee earners and claims handlers, providing technical supervision, performance management, and day‑to‑day operational guidance. The team predominantly handles litigated motor injury files, acting for defendant insurer clients across a variety of panel appointments. Alongside your supervisory responsibilities, you will retain a smaller personal caseload, typically focused on more complex, higher‑value, or technically challenging motor injury matters. These cases will largely be litigated files, requiring strong procedural knowledge, confident decision‑making, and the ability to manage risk effectively on behalf of insurer clients. You will be responsible for ensuring service level agreements and client expectations are consistently met, supporting team development through mentoring and training, and maintaining high technical and compliance standards across the department. The role requires strong organisational capability, leadership skills, and the ability to balance supervision with hands‑on file management in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment. The firm offers hybrid and agile working arrangements from its Manchester City Centre office, alongside structured leadership support and clear progression pathways.
