Not sure a traditional legal career is for you?

Perhaps you've completed your law degree and started your legal career as a paralegal, legal assistant or trainee, but you're beginning to realise that life in practice isn't quite what you expected.

This is a fantastic opportunity to use your legal knowledge in a different way while building a long-term career with one of the UK's most established legal recruitment businesses.

• Managing candidate information and recruitment processes
• Supporting consultants with live assignments and candidate delivery

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Strong organisational and research abilities
• A positive, resilient and ambitious mindset
• An interest in commercial careers and the legal sector
• The confidence to speak with professionals at all levels
