Junior Paralegal – Start Your Legal Career | Immediate Start Available

Location: Birmingham, Digbeth (On-site)
Salary: £26,500 per annum
Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm
Contract Type: Permanent

Are you a law graduate or ambitious individual ready to begin a meaningful career in the legal sector? This is not an admin role with a legal title, this is a genuine opportunity to work alongside qualified solicitors, gain hands-on experience in case preparation, and develop the practical skills that form the foundation of a successful legal career.

From day one, you will be involved in real legal work. You will contribute to live cases, conduct legal research, draft documents, and interact with clients under supervision. This role has been designed specifically for entry-level candidates who are serious about building a long-term future in law.

The Role

As a Junior Paralegal, you will work directly with experienced solicitors and legal professionals across a range of matters. Your responsibilities will include:

Legal Research: Conducting case law research, analysing statutes, and summarising findings to support case strategy
Document Drafting: Preparing legal correspondence, witness statements, and court bundles under supervision
Case Preparation: Assisting with file management, organising evidence, and preparing materials for hearings and client meetings
Client Interaction: Communicating with clients to gather information, provide updates, and ensure excellent service delivery
Court and Administrative Support: Filing documents, liaising with courts, and ensuring compliance with procedural deadlines
Commercial Awareness: Developing an understanding of legal practice operations, client management, and professional standards

You will be mentored throughout, with clear guidance and regular feedback to accelerate your development.

What You Will Develop

This role provides structured, practical training in core legal competencies:

Legal Research Skills: Learning how to locate, interpret, and apply case law and legislation effectively
Professional Drafting: Gaining experience in producing accurate, clear, and persuasive legal documents
Case Management: Understanding how to manage multiple matters, prioritise tasks, and meet strict deadlines
Client Communication: Developing the interpersonal skills essential to client-facing legal work
Attention to Detail: Building the precision and thoroughness required in all areas of legal practice
Commercial and Professional Awareness: Understanding how law firms operate and how to conduct yourself as a legal professional

This experience will position you strongly for progression within the legal sector, whether towards qualified solicitor status, chartered legal executive roles, or specialist paralegal careers.

Who This Role Is For

We are looking for candidates who are:

Law graduates or recent graduates from any discipline with a strong interest in pursuing a legal career
Highly motivated individuals with a genuine commitment to developing in the legal profession
Detail-oriented and capable of producing accurate work under supervision
Strong communicators comfortable interacting with clients and colleagues professionally
Organised and reliable, able to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
Eager to learn, open to feedback, and prepared to work hard to build their career

No prior paralegal experience is required, but a demonstrable interest in law and a proactive attitude are essential.

What We Offer

Competitive Salary:
£26,500 per annum, reflecting your contribution and development

Structured Training and Development:

Formal induction programme covering legal procedures, systems, and expectations
Ongoing mentoring and supervision from qualified solicitors
Exposure to a variety of legal areas and case types
Regular performance reviews and personalised development plans

Real Legal Experience:

Hands-on involvement in live cases from the outset
Responsibility that increases as you develop
Direct contact with clients, courts, and other legal professionals

Professional Environment:

Work within a supportive, professional team
Opportunity to observe and learn from experienced practitioners
Potential pathways for long-term career progression within the firm

Optional Saturday Experience:
On a voluntary basis, you may choose to work occasional Saturdays to gain additional experience, take on further responsibility, and accelerate your development. This is entirely optional and designed as a development opportunity for those keen to progress quickly.

Working Arrangements

Full-time, permanent position
On-site at our Birmingham Digbeth office
Core hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm
Immediate start available for the right candidate
Optional Saturdays: Available on a voluntary basis for those seeking additional experience and responsibility

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to begin your legal career with genuine responsibility, structured support, and clear development. You will not be confined to basic administrative tasks—you will be contributing to real legal work from the start, learning the skills that matter, and building a foundation for long-term success in the legal profession.

We are committed to developing our junior team members and providing the environment, mentorship, and experience needed to help you progress in your legal career.
