Job description

Please note that this vacancy may close early if sufficient applications are received.

Purpose:

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Trainee Paralegal to join the Pursuer Personal Injury Team in our Edinburgh city centre office.

This exciting opening would suit someone looking to start a career in motor insurance claims handling, either from a legal education background or an interest in learning from the ground up. Previous experience is advantageous but not essential, as full training will be provided.

Hybrid working:

This role would be based in our Edinburgh office, with a combination of home and office working (working 2 days in the Edinburgh city centre office and 3 days from home). You would therefore need the infrastructure in place to work from home and will be provided with a company laptop.

Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Managing own caseload of motor claims including Personal Injury;
  • Pursuing claims through different stages, making full use of our case management system;
  • Complying fully with agreed service standards;
  • Communicating with clients, insurers, expert witnesses and solicitors;
  • Dealing with administration as required.

Skills/Competencies required:

  • Effective people skills (able to work well with colleagues, clients, etc.);
  • The ability to prioritise your work;
  • An organised approach to work;
  • Computer literate (working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word);
  • Effective numeracy and literacy skills.

You will be a team player with good attention to detail, the ability to use your own initiative and to work to strict deadlines. You should also have excellent written and verbal communication skills. A legal qualification is not essential as full training will be given.

Please note that any offer of employment is subject to a satisfactory credit check and Basic criminal record check. This information will only be used to assess suitability for employment insofar as it is relevant.
