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.
What you’ll be doing
- 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
- Maintaining accurate records and using case management systems
- Ensuring clients receive consistent, high-quality support
- 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
