Job Description

Personal Injury Fee Earner

Hybrid Full-Time Permanent

Join a Growing Claimant Personal Injury Team

Harkaye Core Talent is delighted to be working in partnership with a progressive claimant law firm to recruit an experienced Personal Injury Fee Earner.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team handling a varied caseload of litigated Road Traffic Accident (RTA) matters. You'll work in a supportive environment where quality legal work, client care and career development are genuinely valued.

Whether you're looking for greater autonomy, higher-quality work or the next step in your personal injury career, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact within an ambitious and expanding practice.

The Opportunity

You'll manage your own caseload of litigated and pre-litigated Fast Track personal injury matters, including claims that have exited the RTA and OIC Portals.

Your caseload will involve:

  • Non-Portal Fast Track RTA claims.
  • Litigated Part 7 and Part 8 matters.
  • Liability and quantum disputes.
  • Pre and post-litigation case management through to settlement or Trial where appropriate.

This is a busy and rewarding role that will suit someone who enjoys taking ownership of their files while delivering exceptional client care.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage your own caseload from liability decision through to settlement.
  • Handle litigated personal injury claims through all stages of the process.
  • Draft witness statements, court applications and instructions to Counsel.
  • Prepare Trial bundles and comply with Court directions.
  • Accurately value general and special damages.
  • Identify litigation opportunities and develop effective case strategies.
  • Deliver excellent client service throughout every stage of the claim.
  • Meet commercial and performance objectives while maintaining high technical standards.
  • Support colleagues by sharing knowledge and contributing to a collaborative team environment.

About You:

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

  • At least two years' experience handling litigated personal injury claims.
  • Strong knowledge of the RTA and OIC Portals and associated protocols.
  • Experience managing Fast Track litigated claims.
  • Confidence handling disputed liability and quantum matters.
  • Excellent negotiation and communication skills.
  • Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • A proactive and client-focused approach to case management.

Experience with Proclaim case management software would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Apply:

This is an opportunity to join a modern and ambitious claimant practice where you'll be trusted to manage your own caseload while continuing to develop your technical expertise. You'll be part of a collaborative team that values quality, supports progression and encourages long-term career development.
