Description
If you’re looking to start or grow a career in the legal sector and want a role where your work genuinely supports people, this opportunity could be ideal. You don’t need previous legal experience — just enthusiasm, empathy and a willingness to learn.
The Role
As a Paralegal in our Sheffield team, you’ll manage your own caseload with full training, supervision and ongoing coaching. You’ll work with clients involved in road traffic accidents, employer liability and public liability claims, guiding them through each stage of the process.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Gathering evidence
- Instructing medical experts
- Maintaining clear, confident communication by phone, email and in person
Throughout every case, you’ll help clients feel informed, supported and reassured.
What we're looking for
We’re keen to hear from individuals who are organised, detail-focused and able to balance multiple tasks without compromising on quality. Strong client care skills and a positive, proactive approach are essential. Once fully trained, you’ll also have the option to move into a hybrid working pattern.
