We are recruiting for a Paralegal to assist more senior staff based at our Nottingham office. The candidate will be based within the Nottingham office and will primarily provide support with Court of Protection work, but may be required to assist more senior staff in any of our offices on the range of work MJC Law specialises in.
This position would suit motivated individuals with intelligence, ambition, lateral thinking skills and sound judgment. You must hold either an undergraduate degree in law or a post-graduate diploma in law (GDL). It would be an advantage, but not essential, to have completed the legal practice course (LPC).
Paralegal, or other legal work experience, or experience of the Court of Protection would be an advantage although this is not essential. The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in undertaking this type of work and a commitment to legally aided work.
We are committed to protecting and promoting our clients’ rights and the post-holder must be able to communicate confidently in order to work effectively with our clients and third parties. Successful candidates will have excellent client care skills and a sensitive and sympathetic understanding of clients’ needs.
Candidates will also be expected to have excellent analytical and organisational skills, be committed to teamwork, take a thorough approach to documenting their work, be IT literate (including in Microsoft Office packages), attentive to detail, and have the ability to use their own initiative.
Depending on the candidate’s level of experience, the rate of pay is competitive and a generous bonus scheme is available. We offer 25 days holiday and opportunities for training and development in our specialisms and being part of the growth of this firm.
We are an equal opportunities employer and actively encourage applicants from backgrounds which are currently underrepresented in the legal profession.
