Application Deadline: 28 August 2026 Department: Clinical Negligence Location: Firmwide

Description

NQ–2 PQE and ready for your next career move?

Join Thompsons Solicitors’ nationally recognised Clinical Negligence team, based in any of our offices across the UK, and start building real expertise in high‑quality claimant work.

The role...

This is a role for lawyers who want responsibility, challenge and support in equal measure. From the outset, you’ll manage your own clinical negligence caseload with appropriate supervision, working on complex, meaningful claims including delayed diagnoses, surgical errors, birth injuries and other serious medical failings.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
