Paralegal

We have an exciting opportunity for a Paralegal to work within the Legal Disrepair Team.

As a Paralegal, you will case handle your own litigation files. We are looking for dynamic and motivated people who have previous experience of litigation, whether as a claimant or defendant litigator.

If you have litigation experience and the drive and desire to succeed, can prioritize your workload, and meet strict deadlines, we are keen to have you on board.

What will my working week look like?

You will be a regional worker, living within a reasonable travelling distance of our Head Office in Warrington, to attend meetings and training courses.

What will I be responsible for doing?

You will be responsible for your own case load and case progression. You should have relevant knowledge and experience of contract law and litigation enforcement.

You will have excellent legal drafting skills on various court documents, injunctions, and witness statements. No two days or cases are ever quite the same, making this role both professionally satisfying and interesting.

What would make me stand out from the crowd?

To be successful as a Paralegal at YHG, you will:

• Have experience in civil litigation claims handling, whether as a Claimant or Defendant, in areas such as Contract law, Welfare law, ASB, Injunctions, Possession, or have experience of conducting contested case litigation.
• Hold a suitable qualification, e.g., CILEX / LPC, degree, or equivalent, and/or be willing to work towards a suitable degree-level qualification.
• Have the skills, confidence, and ability to make critical decisions to achieve successful outcomes in demanding situations.
• Possess high levels of analytical, listening, verbal, and written communication skills. Ideally, you will be a collaborative and enthusiastic team player with the ability to work autonomously.
