Credit Hire / RTA Litigation Supervisor - Birmingham - £50,000DOE
 
Are you an experienced Credit Hire or RTA Litigator looking to take your first official step into a leadership role?
My client is looking to find a Credit Hire / RTA Litigation Supervisor. You will lead a small team of junior fee earners while keeping your own litigation skills sharp with a reduced, high-quality caseload.
 
Team Supervision & Guidance
  • Mentorship: Supervise and support a small, close-knit team of junior fee earners handling OIC, MOJ, Small Claims, and Fast Track Credit Hire/RTA claims.
  • Oversight: Ensure the team's caseload runs smoothly, providing technical guidance, file reviews, and strategic support.
  • Up-skilling: Help junior colleagues build their litigation confidence and resolve technical queries.
Case Management
  • Your Caseload: Retain a smaller, manageable caseload of fast-track litigated files to maintain your own technical edge in the market.
 
What We Are Looking For
 
We are looking for a technically sound litigator with a natural ability to coach others and a drive to progress.
  • Experience: Proven track record of independently managing your own Credit Hire/RTA litigated caseload.
  • Background: Applications are warmly welcomed from both Claimant and Defendant backgrounds.
  • Leadership Drive: While prior management experience is not required, you must possess strong communication skills, a collaborative approach, and a desire to mentor junior staff.
  • Technical Knowledge: A strong grasp of credit hire litigation, quantum disputes, and the CPR.
 
Why Join This Firm?
 
This firm is renowned for investing heavily in its people and providing clear, structured pathways for professional development.
  • No Glass Ceilings: Real, transparent routes to step up into team manager positions or transition into managing a team that handles higher value multi track files.
  • Outstanding Benefits Package:
    • Performance-related bonus scheme
    • Private healthcare (with optional family cover) & dental scheme
    • Flexible working hours and genuine hybrid splits
    • Enhanced company sick pay and maternity leave
    • Income protection & life assurance
    • Interest-free travel loans & cycle-to-work schemes
    • Employee Assistance Programme (including free counselling and legal advice)

Gareth Hibbert is a Business Manager at Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment, having been with the company for over two years. On a personal note, he is looking to move house to something a bit bigger with a garage so he can tinker. After a busy day, Gareth doesn't get much time to unwind with a 2-year-old, but his unwinding comes during the tram journey home. He loves spending quality time with his family, as nothing beats that. If he weren't in recruitment, Gareth would likely pursue a career in microbiology, particularly focusing on soil, though he’s glad he’s not, as he thinks he might not handle all the excitement!
