About the Role
Looking for more than a traditional paralegal role?
If you're passionate about the law but don't want to spend every day reviewing contracts or working in one specialist area, this could be exactly what you're looking for.
At SGN, our Legal Services team sits at the heart of the business, helping us make the right decisions, protect our people and uphold the highest standards of integrity.
We're looking for a curious, motivated Paralegal who wants to build a broad legal career while working on matters that genuinely make a difference. From supporting internal investigations and our confidential Speak Up programme to assisting on Health & Safety legal matters and corporate compliance, this is a role where you'll learn something new every day.
You'll work with experienced legal professionals, gain exposure to a wide variety of legal issues and play an important role in helping us do the right thing for our colleagues, customers and the communities we serve.
What you'll be doing
- Supporting internal investigations by gathering evidence, reviewing documentation and helping prepare reports.
- Assisting with our Speak Up programme, ensuring concerns are handled professionally, fairly and confidentially.
- Supporting legal work relating to Health & Safety, helping protect both our people and the public.
- Undertaking legal research and translating complex information into practical advice.
- Drafting correspondence, reports, policies and legal documentation.
- Managing case files and ensuring records are accurate and well maintained.
- Working with colleagues across the business to provide practical legal support.
- Supporting wider compliance and governance projects that help keep SGN operating safely and responsibly.
