Salary: £57,600 - £72,000
Contract: Full-time | Permanent
Working Pattern: 35 hours per week | Agile & flexible working fully supported

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.
