Full job description

Who Are We?

Medical Defence Shield is a dynamic, specialist medical defence organisation providing tailored support, advice, and representation to healthcare professionals across the UK.

Our work covers a broad range of professional issues, including regulatory matters (GMC, GDC, etc.), employment disputes, complaints, disciplinary processes, medico-legal issues, and other complex matters arising in clinical practice. We uniquely integrate union-grade employment support and clinical/regulatory defence under one roof. We pride ourselves on our in-house, multidisciplinary team of solicitors, employment advisers, and medico-legal specialists who provide practical, supportive, and robust advice to members during what can often be the most stressful points of their careers.

About the Role

Due to the ongoing success of the business, we are looking to expand our team with the addition of a motivated Legal Assistant.

As part of this role, you will be working closely with our in-house legal and advisory teams. You will manage in-house casework, actively participate on client files, and provide vital legal and administrative support to both the department and the wider MDS office. This is an excellent opportunity for a fast learner with a strong work ethic to assume responsibility and build experience in a fast-paced setting.

Key Responsibilities

Working closely with our legal and advisory teams, you will assist with:

Drafting & Preparation: Drafting letters and legal advice. Preparing court bundles, collating documentary evidence, and assisting with disclosure. Administratively supporting ongoing court proceedings.
Legal Research: Performing legal research tasks to support solicitors and specialist advisers.
Casework & Administration: Managing in-house casework and providing general administrative and legal support. Assisting with broader administrative duties for the MDS office.
Communication & Client Care: Managing and responding to email and telephone enquiries from members. Participating with, and working directly on, client files.
Business Development: Participating in team meetings and attending networking events or getting involved in business development initiatives.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, possesses great common sense, and is able to multi-task efficiently while working both individually and as part of a team.

Essential Requirements:

A Graduate Degree or equivalent qualification.
Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues in simple terms.
An excellent telephone manner when dealing with members.
High attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
The ability to prioritise and multi-task your workload within a fast-paced setting.
Strong IT skills, specifically across Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
A strong work ethic, a willingness to manage cases, and the confidence to assume responsibility.
A fast learner who can quickly adapt to the needs of the team.

Desirable Experience:

Previous experience working in a legal support or Legal Assistant capacity.
Previous experience working in an office or administration role.
A Law degree (though any graduate degree is welcomed).

Training and Development

We are committed to the growth of our staff. This role offers excellent on-the-job training and internal development opportunities. You will gain hands-on experience working directly alongside qualified specialists, developing practical skills in case management, legal research, and client care within a unique and supportive medical defence environment.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and a tailored covering letter explicitly explaining your interest in this Legal Assistant role at MDS.

Please note: Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.

As part of your application, please ensure you answer the following questions:

Do you have a law degree?
Do you have previous experience working as a Legal Assistant?

For queries please email [email protected]

Closing Date: 27 July 2026

Equal Opportunities: Medical Defence Shield is committed to providing equal opportunities and welcomes applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Recruitment decisions will be based strictly on merit, skills, experience, and suitability for the role.

Pay: £24,000.00-£25,000.00 per year
