Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence Locum Solicitor
October start date
3-4 month assignment
£50 per hour
Based in London
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Personal Injury Locum Solicitor to join a busy and established claimant team on an interim basis.
The firm is seeking a senior lawyer to provide support for an initial 3-4 month period whilst a permanent appointment is made. The successful candidate will take over and progress an existing caseload of claimant personal injury matters and provide supervision and support to junior members of the team where required.
The role would suit an experienced Personal Injury Solicitor with strong technical knowledge and the confidence to manage files independently from the outset. In addition to personal injury work, candidates should also have some exposure to Clinical Negligence matters.
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.
