Job description

We are looking to recruit a Paralegal to cover a period of maternity leave, for a fixed term period up to 12 months. Part-time (a minimum three-day working pattern) up to full-time working will be considered.

Who are we looking for?

The successful candidates will ideally have debt recovery experience or have worked within a law firm and be able to demonstrate knowledge and experience of debt recovery matters. You will run a high volume case load using our specific debt recovery and diary management case system for clients of the Firm within the Firm’s Dispute Resolution team.

Daily tasks will include:

• taking client instructions
• pro-active diary management
• all pre-action correspondence
• issuing and managing non-defended debt recovery court proceedings (including judgment and enforcement)
• speaking with debtors on the telephone and agreeing payment plans (subject to client instructions)
• managing internal debt recovery for the Firm

The successful candidate will have a proactive, ‘can-do’ attitude to enable them to work closely with a team of legal fee-earners, paralegals and legal assistants on all aspects of this work, and may have a fee earning target themselves. The ability to work as part of a team is therefore essential together with excellent communication, organisational and IT skills.

What do we offer?

This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate with the potential of longer-term career advancement in a forward-thinking law firm with a well-established client base. Along with this we will provide you with a competitive salary, pension, 30 days holiday and Private Medical Health Insurance; in addition, we will even give you your birthday off every year too!

Our values ofTogether, Balanced, and Progressive, help to engender a culture of providing excellent client service within a caring and supportive internal environment.
