Request and obtain background records and assist with the gathering of evidence.
Prepare Legal Aid applications under supervision.
Complete various other case funding documents / fee agreements and client care letters.
Undertake legal research tasks.
In the absence of supervising fee-earner, ensure that urgent matters are referred to appropriate personnel.

What you'll bring

Essential

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability and sensitivity to tailor these to the intended audience.
Genuine interest to work with a leading claimant law firm and passionate about providing access to justice to all.
Relevant knowledge of domestic civil law and procedure and interest in this area of law (the area of civil litigation for sexual and physical abuse; mistreatment of vulnerable children and adults).
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to plan and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines set by supervisors, whilst working flexibly when needed as part of a wider team.
Emotional resilience given that working with this client group can be emotionally challenging at times.
Experience in using a variety of relevant IT packages (MS Word, Excel, Case Management Systems, Outlook).
