Job description

Slater & Gordon is currently recruiting for an experienced Solicitor to join our award winning Clinical Negligence team in Liverpool.

Dealing with a variety of complex cases that stem from misdiagnoses or failure to diagnose such as spinal injury, brain injury, along with surgical errors and incorrect treatment, our team is highly ranked within Chambers and the Legal 500, whilst also winning individual awards for their work on high profile cases.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with demonstrable clinical negligence experience who can manage their own case load, including litigated cases.

We are therefore seeking a technically strong lawyer, who can also demonstrate empathy and excellent interpersonal skills. There may also be the opportunity to work on more complex issues, along with assisting the wider team, and offering advice to junior colleagues.

Working alongside our support staff of Paralegals and Legal Assistants, we would like those who can provide an excellent service to our clients, offering a high level of care, with experience running matters through to trial and who have exposure to complex casework.

What we offer in return:

We have a wide range of core and voluntary benefits:

• Option to buy or sell up to 5 extra days of leave
• Access to Aviva Digicare+ (health checks, Digital GP, mental health support, second medical opinions, and more)
• BUPA private healthcare after 1 year (single cover, tax applies)
• Employee Assistance Programme (free counselling and wellbeing webinars)
• Health & wellbeing perks including gym discounts, cycle to work scheme, meditation sessions, and more
• Life assurance cover
• Income protection if you’re unable to work long-term due to illness or injury
• Access to a Benefits Hub with discounts on shopping, travel, food, and entertainment
• Free legal support and discounted legal services

Important to know

Some benefits are dependent on passing probation or length of service, and may change over time.
