Manchester | Leading National Firm | Flexible / Hybrid Working

Are you a passionate solicitor ready to take your Clinical Negligence career to the next level? Due to sustained growth, our award-winning Manchester team is expanding and we’re looking for a talented Clinical Negligence Solicitor (0–3 years PQE) to join us.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real and lasting impact on the lives of individuals affected by negligent medical care from NHS treatment to private hospitals, GP surgeries and dental practices.

Why This Role? Make a Meaningful Difference

Depending on your experience, you’ll run your own small, manageable caseload with ongoing supervision and support.

What’s In It For You?

You’ll be joining a friendly, sociable, and incredibly supportive team with real opportunities for professional development and progression. We embrace flexible, agile working — blending homeworking with time spent in our bright, modern Manchester offices (currently 2 days per week). You’ll also have opportunities to travel and meet clients face-to-face.
We offer an excellent benefits package, including:
 

• 25 days’ holiday + 8 bank holidays
• Paid day off on your birthday
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Regular team and social events
