This role offers hands-on experience across a broad range of family matters, working closely alongside experienced solicitors and fee earners.

This is the perfect role for someone who is passionate about family law, thrives in a client-facing environment, and wants clear progression opportunities towards a training contract or qualification route.

Key Responsibilities

  • Divorce and separation
  • Financial remedy proceedings
  • Private children matters
  • Domestic abuse cases
• Drafting legal documents, correspondence, and court bundles

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a compassionate approach to clients
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
• Strong IT skills, including experience with case management systems
• A law degree (LLB) or LPC/SQE is preferred but not essential

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary package with regular reviews
• Exposure to a high-quality and diverse caseload
• Clear career progression pathways, including support towards qualification
• A collaborative and supportive working environment
• Opportunity to work closely with experienced family law specialists

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a respected regional legal practice with a strong reputation in family law
