Personal Injury Lawyer
South Manchester
Our client is a well-established and highly regarded high street law firm with a reputation for providing excellent client service within a friendly, supportive, and collaborative working environment. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Personal Injury lawyer to join a growing team that genuinely values its people and offers clear opportunities for long-term career progression and development.
The Role
The successful candidate will manage their own varied caseload, predominantly consisting of non-motor personal injury matters, including:
- Employers' Liability (EL)
- Public Liability (PL)
- Highways Act claims
- Product Liability claims
- Other non-motor personal injury matters
Whilst there will be some higher-value Road Traffic Accident (RTA) claims, previous RTA experience is not essential for this position.
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.
