Description
Join Thompsons Solicitors as a Paralegal in our Sheffield small claims team and build a career where your work genuinely changes lives. Whether you’re new to the legal sector or looking for a fresh challenge, we’ll give you the training, coaching and support you need to thrive.
The Role
You’ll manage your own caseload with guidance from experienced colleagues, working closely with clients involved in road traffic accidents, employer liability and public liability claims. From gathering evidence to instructing medical experts, you’ll play a key role in progressing each case and ensuring every client feels heard and supported. Clear, confident communication—by phone, email and in person—is essential, along with the ability to stay organised in a fast-paced environment.
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.
