Solicitor – Industrial Disease

Location: Cardiff

Contract: Permanent, Full-time

Hours: 35 hours, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm

Start Date: ASAP

With empathy, attention to detail and legal curiosity, you’ll help clients navigate life-changing industrial disease claims. At Redkite Solicitors, we’re seeking a motivated and client-focused Solicitor to support our Industrial Disease team in delivering exceptional legal advice and representation.

As part of our Personal Injury practice, you’ll support clients affected by workplace-related illness and injury, helping them pursue claims with care, diligence and confidence. From managing your own caseload under supervision to assisting on complex matters involving asbestos exposure, respiratory illness, noise-induced hearing loss and other occupational disease claims, you’ll play a key role in delivering trusted advice and achieving the right outcomes for clients and their families.

Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full-service law firm, we’re driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we’re proud to be recognised as an employer of choice, with a number of our lawyers recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers, reflecting the strength and quality of our expertise. Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.

Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office within our network, for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.

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.
