An outstanding opportunity exists with this niche education practice for a paralegal to join their team and undertake a Training Contract in the short-term.
The firm specialises in Education Law and in particular special educational needs and Disability Discrimination. Their service is offered throughout England and Wales and consequently, they have a national client base, acting for private individuals, principally against Local Education Authorities and occasionally against Universities and Independent Schools.
From Suffolk, or with strong connections to the location, you must be able to demonstrate a good academic record, with a minimum 2.1 at degree level, and an analytical mind. You will have a flexible approach to work, being able to prioritise and accept interruptions to planned workload in order to deal with urgent issues, as and when necessary. This position will lead to the offer of a Training Contract, subject to the satisfactory performance of the successful candidate and subsequent to the completion of an initial probationary period.
With a superb reputation, this really is a fantastic opportunity, not only to gain a role as a trainee solicitor but to work within a nationally recognised specialist practice and learn from a team of dedicated and driven individuals.
