You would be managing your own caseload of 25 to 40 new cases monthly and taking your turn on the Legal Helpline rota as well as writing legal updates for our website and providing opinions to trade magazines and, if you feel comfortable, taking part in podcasts, delivering training and presentations.

The ideal candidate will:

Strong team player with a flexible approach to work.
Capability to manage a diverse and interesting caseload.

Although you will be responsible for your own busy and varied caseload, there is a great team spirit and the team all support each other.

If you have experience within the motor industry that is a bonus, but more important is a positive attitude, a willingness to pitch in and sound legal experience.

The team all currently work on a hybrid basis sharing their time between our office in the Peterborough and home, but we are currently investing in a state-of-the-art paperless system to enable remote working which could be an option for the right candidate.

This is a unique role with no time recording or billing targets.
