The Opportunity

A senior technical leadership role - without the burnout. CRA Consulting is partnering with a large, highly respected national Serious Injury practice to appoint an Associate Team Leader as part of its continued investment in senior technical leadership. This is a credible step-up or lateral move for an experienced Serious Injury solicitor or senior fee earner who enjoys technical excellence, mentoring, and influencing outcomes, but wants to do so in a modern, flexible environment that values expertise. You'll work on complex, high-value RTA Serious Injury claims (£100,000-£1m+), supporting senior colleagues and shaping best practice across the department - all within a genuinely supportive leadership structure. Rather than carrying a heavy personal caseload, you'll focus on technical supervision, strategy, and people development, acting as a trusted sounding board for senior fee earners handling some of the most challenging claims in the business. It's an opportunity to lead through expertise, influence outcomes at scale, and build a long-term leadership career - without sacrificing work-life balance.

What you'll be doing

• Providing hands-on technical supervision and coaching on complex multi-track RTA claims
• Supporting senior fee earners on cases valued £100k-£1m+
• Driving technical quality, consistency, and governance across the team
• Conducting regular technical 1:1s, file reviews, and structured feedback
• Supporting case strategy, costs, billing governance, and settlement planning
• Contributing to QA, risk management, and technical compliance
• Using MI and performance data to improve outcomes and productivity
• Mentoring senior colleagues and helping develop future technical leaders
• Collaborating closely with Team Leaders, Technical Leads, and senior management
• Playing an active role in embedding best practice and business-wide improvements

What they're looking for

• Solicitor, FILEX or equivalent professional background
• 8+ years' PQE
• Strong track record in high-value, multi-track Serious Injury / RTA litigation
• Experience supervising, mentoring, or coaching senior fee earners
• Excellent technical knowledge of CPR, costs, funding, and litigation strategy
• Comfortable working within a performance-led environment
• Confident using case management systems (Proclaim ideal, not essential)
• Commercially aware, organised, and emotionally intelligent

Key Technical Strengths

• Multi-track litigation (including cost budgeting)
• Liability, quantum, and evidential strategy
• High-value special damages claims
• Billing oversight, MI interpretation, and performance analysis
• Training, competency assessment, and technical development
• Risk management on £100k+ Serious Injury cases

Salary & Benefits - Why this role stands out

• £57,600 - £72,000 basic salary
• Fully remote working (with occasional, agreed office attendance)
• 35-hour working week
• Agile, adult working culture with real flexibility
• Clear leadership structure, objectives, and support
• Genuine long-term progression into senior technical or operational leadership
• Exposure to some of the highest-value Serious Injury work in the UK market
