Ideally my Client is searching or someone who has a minimum of an AA in their A-levels and/or has a degree whereby they have graduated with a 2.1 overall.

The ideal applicant will be local to the area or 30 min drive/train journey (tops). The Client would prefer that the ideal candidate drives and has their own car, however, this is not a MUST have. This is a power-driven role for a strong candidate who knows what they are doing and someone who would enjoy working alongside my Client, who has his own Legal Firm. There is huge scope and benefits for a bright graduate wanting to enhance their career opportunities, to not only be led directly by my Client himself, but to also receive the opportunity to extensively increase one's working experience and most importantly, knowledge and education within this area of Law. The more you are devoted and prepared to put in, the more you will get out of this role and ideal for someone who is hungry to work their way up within the industry of Law.

My Client is a strong individual but fair and grounded individual who is looking for someone who is not afraid to put in hard work, has their own initiative to proactively assist him and ultimately alleviate his stress and workload from the offset.

Please send me your CV, detailing your contact telephone number and your place or residency for logistic purposes only. We will be arranging telephone/Zoom interviews at the initial stage directly with my Client, if we feel you are suitable for the role.

However, please note, that our business is an extremely fast paced industry and therefore, we will be reviewed CV's received and contacting the individuals who have been successful, to make it to the next stage. The closing date for receiving CV's will be Friday 8 September at 12pm sharp.

We ask that we receive no timewasters and that you only apply by return, if you are serious about the role which carries the benefit from receiving first hand Legal experience in the capacity of a Paralegal. However, if proved to be a very strong candidate, there may be a future opportunity to step into Junior Solicitor works whilst being in receipt of guidance and training from my Client himself.

Please send us your CV's with immediate effect and please ensure the details which we have requested are also included with your application and, perhaps, a front-page letter introducing yourself with a quick synopsis of what you are ideally looking for at this point in time for your career going forwards.

Thank you.
