Military Expert Witness Associate – Royal Navy
Flexible | Home-based | £22,000–£60,000+ depending on commitment.
Are you a former Royal Navy officer looking for a flexible second career that makes genuine use of your military experience?
DJ Fox & Associates is an award-winning expert witness employment company working on military, police and civilian personal injury claims. We are looking for additional Royal Navy Associates to join our established national network.
Our Associates prepare employment reports that contribute to the legal process by assessing the impact of injury on an individual's employment opportunities. This is not about determining liability or deciding who is to blame. It is about producing balanced, evidence-based, and professionally presented reports that assist the court in reaching appropriate decisions.
The Opportunity
This is an intellectually demanding role for someone who enjoys analysing information, questioning assumptions, researching evidence and getting to the heart of a problem.
- You will have considerable flexibility over where and when you work, with the opportunity to build your workload around your other commitments.
- Earnings are expected to range from approximately £22,000 to £60,000, depending on the level of commitment, with the potential to increase further as your skills, experience and capacity develop.
- You will join a supportive network of 23 Associates from military, police, civil service and HR/recruitment backgrounds, supported by a dedicated management and administrative team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

You will need to have:
- Previous Royal Navy knowledge and experience
- Integrity, commitment and a strong sense of fairness
- A balanced and questioning approach
- Strong analytical, organisational and written skills
- The ability to review and assimilate information from multiple sources
- The determination to follow an issue through and keep asking "so what?"
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a supportive professional network
- The ability to work under pressure and meet agreed deadlines
- A willingness to learn and develop professionally
- Above all, to be coachable without being precious — rank and ego are left at the door
