Ready to take the next step in your personal injury career?
If you have experience in personal injury or litigation and are looking to build your expertise within a supportive, high-performing team, this could be the opportunity for you.
We are recruiting an Assistant Lawyer to join our Multi-Track Accident team, based in Birmingham. This is an excellent role for a confident fee earner who enjoys managing responsibility while continuing to grow technically and professionall
The role
You will play a key role supporting a varied caseload of multi-track personal injury matters, while also progressing your own files. Initially, this will focus on intermediate, non-issued cases, with clear progression to issued matters as your experience develops. You’ll receive structured supervision and support throughout, ensuring you feel confident as your responsibilities increase.
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.
