You will be joining a highly-regarded, friendly team and specialise in bespoke military industrial disease, based out of Cardiff.
Your new role
Your role will involve working within the military department; the department helps military service personnel who need to bring a claim against the Ministry of Defence due to their failure to adequately protect from illness or avoidable injury.
