Costs Draftsperson – Four days from home – Reduced-hour week

Apply now

Our client, a market-leading national insurance law firm, is looking for a costs draftsperson to join its growing team in Bolton.  

Our client is one of the country’s leading insurance litigation law firms and routinely represents household-name insurer clients. While it has offices across the UK, it is headquartered in the North West – so you’ll be at the centre of the action.  

The right candidate with at least two years’ experience in a costs role, with previous experience of client liaison and of preparing points of dispute. 

In the role, you’ll be drafting and negotiating budgets, drafting points of dispute and negotiating costs settlements for a varied caseload of settle RTA/EL/PL matters, including abuse, clinical and professional negligence. 

The firm takes a “people first” approach, promoting a healthy work/life balance through a reduced-hours week (35 hours) and flexible/home working, so you’ll be able to fit your work around your personal commitments.
  
The firm invests in its team members from day one, starting with a structured on-boarding programme and continuing via a structured development and progression plan. Indeed, learning and development is a core part of the firm’s company culture.  

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn from more senior colleagues, including some of the country’s most well-known experts, and cultivate new skills which will enable you to progress in your career.  

Pay is competitive and its benefits package is as you’d expect of a national firm and includes private medical insurance, critical illness cover, access to a virtual GP and several high street discounts.
