Employment Paralegal / Associate

We have an excellent 12 month fixed-term contract opportunity for either an Associate or Paralegal to our friendly and high-performing Employment Team in either our Bristol or Bedwas offices. This is a brilliant development opportunity, where you will gain invaluable experience by managing your own caseload on behalf of both Claimants and Respondents. No two days are ever the same, and you can look forward to working within a department that boosts a wealth of experience, unrivalled support and opportunities to grow and develop which are actively encouraged. As well as acting for employees and employers during the litigation process, the Employment department also provide advisory HR services such as drafting contracts and policies, or providing a business with guidance and support to businesses through the complexity of employment law requirements. By giving you every opportunity to develop yourself professionally and personally, we also pride ourselves on having an open, inclusive and high energy culture that places our customers at the very heart of everything we do.

We are really keen to hear from candidates with experience working within an Employment Law environment at either a Paralegal or Associate level. Ideally you will have previous experience running your own caseload, with the ability to communicate clearly and effectively whilst demonstrating resilience and excellent client care skills.

ARAG UK has been helping businesses and individuals gain access to justice for over 40 years. It's our founding principle to enable everybody, not just those who can afford it, to assert their legal rights. Thousands of businesses and individuals defend or pursue legal action each year safe in the knowledge that ARAG UK are paying their legal bills. Our businesses include a legal expenses insurance company and a law firm with many opportunities in both areas. We have historically focussed on delivering legal services to customers solely via our Legal Expenses Insurance products, which provides a steady workload of litigated cases in areas such as;

• Personal Injury
• Litigation & Dispute Management
• Employment
• Business & Commercial
We believe these are exciting times for DAS Law as part of the wider ARAG UK, and we are looking for likeminded individuals who share our ambition to make our high quality legal solutions accessible and affordable.

By giving you every opportunity to develop yourself professionally and personally, we also pride ourselves on having an open, inclusive and high energy culture that encourages a fun working environment and places our customers at the very heart of everything we do. If you are keen to become part of our exciting future then we would love to hear from you.
