Job description

Clinical Negligence Solicitor (2+ PQE) | Bolton | Hybrid

I'm currently working with a growing claimant Clinical Negligence team in Bolton that is looking to appoint a solicitor with around 2-5 years' PQE (although there's flexibility for someone more experienced).

This is a great opportunity to join a team that is expanding with strong financial backing and a real focus on quality work rather than volume. You'll handle a broad range of claimant clinical negligence matters, including high-value and complex cases, and will work closely alongside the Head of Department on all aspects of the caseload.

The role offers genuine exposure and responsibility from day one, including the opportunity to support and mentor paralegals, get involved in business development and marketing initiatives, and play a key part in the continued growth of the department.

What's on offer:

• Hybrid working - typically 1-2 days a week in the Bolton office
• A full range of quality claimant clinical negligence work
• Direct mentoring and support from the Head of Department
• Involvement in all stages of files from instruction through to resolution
• The chance to help develop junior team members
• Excellent progression opportunities as the team continues to grow
• Scope to take on wider responsibilities including BD and marketing

If you're a claimant clinical negligence solicitor looking for a role where you'll get hands-on experience, real progression prospects and the opportunity to grow with a department, I'd be happy to tell you more.

BCL Legal is an equal opportunities employer.
