If you’re looking to start or grow a career in the legal sector and want a role where your work genuinely supports people, this opportunity could be ideal. You don’t need previous legal experience — just enthusiasm, empathy and a willingness to learn.

As a Paralegal in our Sheffield team, you’ll manage your own caseload with full training, supervision and ongoing coaching. You’ll work with clients involved in road traffic accidents, employer liability and public liability claims, guiding them through each stage of the process. 

Your responsibilities will include gathering evidence, instructing medical experts and maintaining clear, confident communication by phone, email and in person. Throughout every case, you’ll help clients feel informed, supported and reassured.

We’re keen to hear from individuals who are organised, detail‑focused and able to balance multiple tasks without compromising on quality. Strong client care skills and a positive, proactive approach are essential. Once fully trained, you’ll also have the option to move into a hybrid working pattern.
