Personal Injury Paralegal - £30,000 DOE + Excellent Benefits Package - Bristol City Centre (Hybrid: 3 days home, 2 days office)
The Opportunity
An exceptional opportunity has arisen with a highly respected, national top-tier law firm for a Personal Injury Paralegal to join their Claimant Injury department in Bristol city centre. This firm is renowned for its premium quality file intake, strong corporate partnerships, and commitment to clear internal routes to professional qualification.
Unlike many volume insurance environments, this role offers an enviable 35-hour working week and a genuinely balanced hybrid model, allowing you to work 3 days from home and 2 days from their modern city centre office.
Key Responsibilities
- Caseload Management: Independently manage a rewarding claimant caseload of Fast-Track personal injury claims up to a value of £25,000.
- End-to-End Handling: Take files through the entirety of the MOJ Portal framework, as well as managing pre- and post-litigation stages outside of the portal using a modern case management system.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Communicate effectively with clients, insurers, medical experts, and counsel to drive files to a successful conclusion.
- Quality & Compliance: Participate in weekly risk assessment meetings and maintain excellent service standards.
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.
What We’re Looking For
- Essential Experience: Proven track record of independently handling a personal injury claimant caseload.
- Technical Skills: Strong working knowledge of the MOJ Portal and experience navigating claims allocated to the Fast Track (including litigation experience).
- Background: While non-motor (EL/PL) experience is highly desirable, ambitious case handlers with strong motor/RTA experience looking to transition into non-motor lines are highly encouraged to apply.
- Qualifications: A law degree, CILEx, or equivalent qualification is desirable but not essential, your practical case handling exposure is what matters most.
