Court of Protection Paralegal

• A long-term career path in Court of Protection — with real progression
• Hybrid working (2–3 days from home) and brand-new Manchester offices
• Hands-on, meaningful work supporting vulnerable clients

This Manchester-based role is ideal for someone who wants to build a long-term career in Court of Protection, rather than using a paralegal position as a short-term stepping stone.

You’ll manage your own caseload from the outset, working closely with vulnerable clients and supporting them in their day-to-day financial lives. The work is practical, responsible and people-focused — from managing bills and accounts to liaising with families and care providers.

As you gain experience, you’ll become a trusted point of contact for your clients and their support networks. There’s a clear pathway to progress — including opportunities to develop into a senior fee earner or Associate — for those who want to specialise and grow within Court of Protection.

The team is large, well-established and has excellent retention, largely because people value the stability, the culture and the sense of purpose behind the work.

• Managing your own Court of Protection caseload
• Supporting vulnerable clients with day-to-day financial management
• Arranging direct debits, paying bills and handling client accounts
• Liaising with families, carers and external providers

• Contributing to the smooth running of a busy and growing team

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary with yearly pay reviews
• Hybrid working (typically 2–3 days from home)
• Brand-new, modern Manchester office opening this year
• Clear progression framework with long-term career prospects
• Opportunity to progress to Associate level over time
• Stable, growing team with excellent retention
• Strong benefits package and ongoing development support
• Meaningful, purpose-driven work that has real impact
