    Description

    We're a national law firm with a local reach, here for life's important moments - the ones you plan for and the ones you don't expect. Our legal experts combine technical excellence with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to always put our clients first. You'll feel part of a welcoming, inclusive environment where your individuality matters. We celebrate what makes you unique and support you to thrive. Together, we achieve incredible things and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

    Your Role and What You'll Be Doing

    Managing your own caseload of sub £50k

    Taking instructions from clients and assisting with the giving of legal advice, including obtaining medical and other evidence, pre‐action protocol work, instructing Counsel and cases in proceedings to achieve appropriate resolutions for the clients.

    Achieving time recording and fee income targets to ensure profitable working.

    Attending and contributing to team/practice area meetings and comply with directions/decisions made to ensure team objectives achieved.

    Keeping up to date with changes in relevant law and practice and attending appropriate training events to ensure up to date legal knowledge and best practice.

    This is a hybrid role, working 2 days onsite in our Sheffield office location.

    Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose.

    Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It's made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.

    Additional Information As part of the Irwin Mitchell Group's on‐boarding process all successful applicants are required to complete the group's employment screening process. This process helps to ensure that all new employees meet our standards in relation to honesty and integrity therefore protecting the interests of the Group, colleagues, clients, partners and other stakeholders. We carry out pre employment screening to establish your eligibility to work in the UK, criminal record and financial checks with our trusted 3rd parties. The employment screening process will fully comply with Data Protection and other applicable laws.

    We're seeking an experienced and dedicated Medical Negligence Case Handler/Paralegal, who is looking for a long‐term role and wants to become a valued, established colleague in our Medical Negligence team.

    Qualifications

    Proven case handling experience at Grade C - D level, in either a Paralegal or Case Handler role.

    Experience within Medical Negligence would be an advantage, particularly with lower value or varied claims; however, we also welcome applicants with experience in other areas of law, who are looking to apply their existing skills in a new rewarding specialism.

    You will bring maturity, resilience, and a genuine commitment to delivering excellent client care.

    Demonstrable experience in working to time recording and fee income targets.

    The ability to demonstrate empathy, compassion and sensitivity when supporting clients through challenging situations.

    Highly organised and proactive, with excellent workload and prioritisation skills.

    Strong relationship building skills with clients, colleagues and external stakeholders.

    Benefits25 days holidays as standard plus bank holidays – You can "buy" up to 35hrs of extra holiday too.

    Generous and flexible pension schemes.
