Want to progress faster without burning out?
This role gives you high-value clinical negligence work, proper support, and a clear path forward, so you can build your expertise alongside a healthy work-life balance.
 
You'll join a national firm where junior solicitors aren't left to figure things out alone. Instead, you'll handle complex cases with hands-on guidance, realistic expectations, and the infrastructure to help you succeed.
 
What this means for you:

• You'll work on complex, career-defining cases (including cerebral palsy, fatal and neonatal claims), so you can accelerate your development early
• You won't be buried in admin, because dedicated paralegals and support teams handle it, you will focus on being a Solicitor
• You'll have flexibility in how you hit your targets, so if you enjoy business development or mentoring, your workload can reflect that. Everyone hits their billable targets
• You'll get consistent exposure to high-quality work
• You'll be in the office just 2 days a week
• You'll know how to progress from day one, with clear expectations and support to help you get there

What support actually looks like:

• Partners who are available and involved in your cases
• A team structure where complex files are shared and discussed, so you're never left isolated
• Regular informal mentoring and development

What you'll get:

• £55,000 DOE + bonus, with regular salary reviews as you progress
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays, plus dependants' leave and volunteering days
• Private healthcare and critical illness cover
• A collaborative, well-resourced team, so you can do your best work without unnecessary pressure

 
If you're looking for a role where you can grow quickly, feel supported, and still have a life outside work, then please get in touch.
