Watford (WD17) / Hybrid

We are working with a well-established law firm seeking a Domestic Abuse Paralegal to join their Family team. This is a rewarding role supporting survivors of domestic abuse in a fast-paced, client-focused environment. The role involves managing a caseload of Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders, preparing urgent applications, drafting statements, liaising with courts and external agencies, and supporting solicitors with case progression and file management.

A key requirement is strong hands-on experience, with candidates expected to manage their own caseload of 10+ live matters, primarily NMOs and Occupation Orders, with minimal training as the team is operating at full capacity. The ideal candidate will have experience in family law and domestic abuse work, with knowledge of Legal Aid and CCMS procedures, along with strong organisation, drafting, and communication skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist team and make an immediate impact.

If you would like to learn more about this opportunity, contact Jemma Sutton for a confidential discussion.
