Job ref: e6b270a5ff7c4d438e5e6a60686e6c2f
Full Job Description
You will assist an existing fee earner on their case load, getting involved directly with legal tasks and liaising with clients.
What we offer you
14 weeks of tailored training to ensure you're a successful Paralegal.
Three appraisals per year and weekly meetings with your supervisor to guide you.
Established in 2000, Express Solicitors is an award-winning law firm that deals with personal injury and clinical negligence claims. Based in Manchester, we serve clients nationwide and are currently ranked 70 out of more than 10,000 law firms. We have a 5-star rating on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, which coming from our clients means a lot to us. We are proud of the work we do helping injured people, and this is the core of our business.
Our Graduate Scheme has been awarded the Princess Royal Training Award. This award recognises our exceptional commitment to learning and development and its positive impact on the organisation and people. We now also offer training from the incredible Matthew Fowler for developing a growth mindset, psychological resilience and emotional intelligence. Giving you the skills to be the best version of your self in law.
We set you up to succeed
The focus of our award-winning Graduate Scheme is to provide you with a solid foundation to launch your legal career. You start with 5 weeks of initial training, which is everything from black letter law all the way through to support during initial tasks (witness statements, claim form drafting) and communicating with clients.
Once you are in the department, the support doesn't stop; you have a weekly supervisor meeting, which is there for you to lead on work and ask questions you want guidance on. You also have a Buddy in the department to help you too.
We deliver on progression
We are so proud of the progression at Express Solicitors, we wanted to share the success by numbers:
100% of our Trainee Solicitors came from our Graduate Scheme.
The average time from the Graduate Scheme to SQE/TC is within 6 - 15 months of starting with Express Solicitors.
We work hard and play hard
Law has always been seen as a challenging profession. Express Solicitors expect you to work hard for our clients. But we also love to have fun, with regular department socials, yearly Christmas parties (paid for by the business) and every other year a Summer social at the CEO's house paid for by James, himself.
We also have lots of other regular activities, with weekly football and netball games, a running club and a board game night.

"The collaborative culture within the company, combined with structured mentorship and continuous feedback, has been good in shaping my career."
Elliott Walker
"The grad scheme provided me with a helpful foundational knowledge of what to expect once I arrived at department and the tasks that I would be doing."
Billy Mollart
"The Graduate Scheme was, without a shadow of a doubt, a significant driving factor in allowing me to progress so quickly from Litigation Assistant to Trainee Solicitor."
Salary - £26,000 per annum.
Hours - 8:30 am - 5:30 pm Monday - Thursday with a 5 pm finish on Friday (39.5 hours.)
Benefits
Hybrid Working
3/2 hybrid working pattern after probation.
23 Days Holiday
Rising to 26 days, plus bank/public holidays.
Extra Holidays
3 holiday buy backs and an extra day for your birthday after service length requirement.
Looking After Your Health
Private medical insurance available after 2 years' service, annual flu jab and Employee Assistance Programme.
Looking After Your Well-being
24/7 onsite Gym, Netball/Football team, 10km Manchester team and more.
Work Life / Balance
Active social committee with generous departmental and firm-wide social budget.
Isha Kumar
"Once you finish the grad scheme you feel quite prepared to go into your departments. Once you're in, you will be assigned with buddies, so if you come across areas which are new, you can ask your buddies for guidance."
Megan Rowbotham
"I found the Graduate Scheme to be really helpful in preparing me for when I came into department. The trainers helped us develop the necessary skills for our role and we covered everything from IT skills to black-letter law and client care. I would highly recommend the scheme to any law graduates looking to start their career in law."
Harry Gowler
"I was much better equipped than I would have been if I was thrown straight into department. It was also great to be given soft skills training, increasing my confidence in client interaction in a safe learning environment where it was okay to make mistakes."
What are we looking for?
Aspiring Personal Injury Paralegals with strong legal academic achievements (LLB, GDL, LLM, LPC or equivalent).
Full-time availability is required from Monday 30th June 2025 and that no holidays are booked for the first 12 weeks.
Closing date for applications is the 16th June 2025.
No legal work experience necessary.
Passionate about being a lawyer and helping injured people.
