* Run your own clinical negligence caseload from day one, not just assisting
* Work alongside some of the most experienced claimant specialists in the UK
* Clear progression, strong benefits and a genuinely supportive team culture
If you’re early in your clinical negligence career, the difference between assisting and actually running cases is everything. This role gives you that step up.
You’ll take on your own caseload while still having access to senior support on more complex matters. The work is varied and meaningful, covering the full spectrum of clinical negligence, and you’ll be trusted to handle files properly, not just progress tasks. From the outset, you’ll be expected to understand your cases, your clients and the strategy behind them.
In the first year, the focus is on building confidence and consistency, managing files end-to-end, working with experts and counsel, and developing your technical ability. Beyond that, there’s room to shape your path, whether that’s deepening your specialism, getting involved in business development, or progressing through the firm’s structured framework.
The team itself is well-regarded for its quality of work and results-driven approach, but without the sharp edges you sometimes see elsewhere. It’s collaborative, supportive and commercially aware, a place where you’re encouraged to grow rather than compete internally.
Who we’re looking for
* Qualified Solicitor in England Wales with 0–3 years’ PQE
* Experience handling or assisting on clinical negligence matters
* Strong understanding of clinical negligence law and procedure
* Ability to manage or grow into managing a full caseload
* Good working knowledge of CPR and litigation processes
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
* Excellent client care and communication skills
* Commercial awareness and interest in developing work (Desired)
* Ambitious, proactive and keen to progress
What you’ll be doing
* Managing your own caseload of clinical negligence claims
* Advising clients and guiding them through the litigation process
* Working with medical experts, counsel and third parties
* Preparing cases from instruction through to resolution
* Assisting on more complex, high-value matters where required
* Drafting documents, reviewing evidence and building case strategy
* Contributing to business development and networking activity
* Supporting the wider team and maintaining high standards of client care
Salary & Benefits
* Hybrid working options
* 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays + Christmas closure days
* Private medical insurance (opt-in) + wellbeing perks
* Income protection + death in service (up to 3x salary)
* Two paid volunteering days per year
