Ideal Candidates must have:

* A Legal Assistant (or similarly qualified legal support professional) with prior experience working as part of a Personal injury, Medical negligence, or Litigation Team.

* An individual with prior experience working in the health sector or another type of medical environment would also be of real interest.

* A willingness to get “stuck in” and support others across the team when needed.

* An ability to remain calm under pressure and work to tight deadlines
