Job Role
A respected legal firm is seeking a dedicated and experienced Paralegal to join their General Personal Injury Litigation (GPIL) team in Kirkcaldy on a full-time, permanent basis. In this role, you will work closely with individuals affected by incidents such as road traffic accidents, motorcycle accidents, workplace injuries, fatal accidents, and occupiers’ liability claims. The position involves not only progressing cases to secure fair compensation but also providing emotional support and guidance to clients during a particularly difficult time in their lives. You’ll be part of a close-knit team handling meaningful and impactful work across a varied caseload.

Requirements
To be successful in this role, you should have previous experience in personal injury or civil litigation, or a background in commercial litigation with a strong desire to transition into an area of law that directly helps individuals. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, capable of working independently, and passionate about delivering empathetic, client-focused service. You must be comfortable managing your own caseload while also collaborating with colleagues on more complex matters. A proactive approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to support and reassure clients are essential qualities for this role.

Benefits
This firm offers a supportive, resource-rich environment where your professional development is a priority. With a strong reputation in the personal injury sector, they provide their employees with excellent training, access to experienced mentors, and opportunities for growth within a collaborative team. The firm is committed to making a real difference in the lives of their clients, and they are looking for someone who shares that mission. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated Paralegal looking to take the next step in their career within a values-driven, client-focused legal practice.
