Job description

Clinical Negligence / Personal Injury Solicitor (NQ-1 PQE)
Bournemouth | Leading Legal 500 Firm

If you're looking for a firm where junior lawyers are given real trust, real support and real responsibility from the start, this is one worth paying attention to. This Legal 500 ranked practice has built a strong reputation across the South East for its specialist litigation teams, combining serious Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury work with a culture that genuinely values its people.

Rather than slotting into a background role, you'll join a team that treats its junior solicitors as an important part of the engine room. You'll work on meaningful cases, learn directly from experienced partners, and develop the confidence and skills needed to build a long-term career in claimant litigation.

Their Bournemouth office is growing, and they're looking for an NQ-1 PQE solicitor who's ready for early responsibility, quality work and proper development.

The Role

You’ll work alongside partners and senior associates on a broad range of Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury matters, including surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, catastrophic injuries and complex multi-party disputes.

You’ll manage your own files, assist on larger claims and be involved in investigations, expert evidence, negotiations and settlement discussions. The structure is supportive, but you’ll have enough autonomy to grow quickly.

Why This Firm

• Quality caseload: High-value, complex matters that make a genuine impact.
• Real development: Direct access to experienced partners and tailored supervision.
• Supportive team: A collaborative group that shares knowledge and champions junior talent.
• Modern, flexible culture: A firm that invests in its people and trusts them.
• Strong regional presence: Offices across the South East with a friendly, approachable feel.

About You

• NQ-1 PQE with Clinical Negligence and/or Personal Injury experience (or a strong seat)
• Strong communicator with a genuine interest in claimant litigation
• Organised, detail-focused and comfortable with sensitive issues
• Keen to grow your expertise within a respected and well-structured team
