Assistant Serious Injury Solicitor

• Work on life-changing serious injury cases with a strong rehab-focused approach
• Blend of your own caseload + high-value work alongside senior specialists
• Hybrid working, wellbeing-focused culture and genuine long-term progression

This is a role where the work goes beyond the legal side.

You’ll be part of a serious injury team that focuses not just on compensation, but on helping clients rebuild their lives. The cases are complex and often sensitive, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and other life-changing claims, and the approach is centred around long-term outcomes, not quick settlements.

From early on, you’ll manage your own caseload while also supporting on more complex, high-value matters with senior lawyers. The balance gives you autonomy, but also exposure to cases that will accelerate your development. You’ll be involved in strategy, client contact and working with experts, not just progressing files in the background.

Over time, the role opens up further. You’ll have the opportunity to mentor more junior colleagues, contribute to team objectives and get involved in business development if that’s something you enjoy. Progression is structured, but not rigid, there’s room to grow based on how you perform.

The environment is collaborative and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing and support. It’s a team that takes the work seriously but recognises the importance of balance and flexibility.

Who we’re looking for

• Qualified Solicitor with 0–4 years’ PQE
• Strong interest in catastrophic injury cases
• Good understanding of litigation processes and CPR
• Strong client care skills with an empathetic approach
• Ambitious, motivated and keen to develop
• Comfortable working collaboratively within a team
• Willingness to spend time in the office and be part of the team environment
• Experience in serious injury or personal injury work (Desired)
• Commercial awareness and interest in business development (Desired)

What you’ll be doing

• Managing your own caseload of serious injury matters
• Supporting senior lawyers on complex, high-value cases
• Advising clients and providing clear, practical legal guidance
• Liaising with medical experts, counsel and other professionals
• Conducting case reviews and maintaining high standards of service
• Building strong relationships with clients and supporting them through their claims
• Contributing to team objectives and wider initiatives
• Mentoring junior colleagues as you progress

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary (aligned to experience)
• Hybrid working with flexibility built around the team
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (option to buy more)
• Two paid volunteering days per year
• Generous pension scheme
• Health cash plan + digital GP access
• Wellbeing initiatives and mental health support
• Flexible working programme tailored to individual needs
• Strong progression framework with long-term career development
• Inclusive, supportive culture with a focus on doing meaningful work
