Paralegal - Contracts

Job Description

We're delighted to be partnering with a market-leading organisation to offer an exclusive opportunity for an ambitious Paralegal to join their high-performing legal team. This is a fantastic chance to develop your career within a company known for its innovation, supportive culture, and commitment to excellence.


Why This Role Stands Out:
This is more than just a Paralegal role - it's a chance to make a real impact across major projects, work alongside respected legal professionals, and be part of a forward-thinking business that genuinely invests in its people. Whether you're looking to grow your skills in contract negotiation or take on more responsibility in a commercial environment, this role offers the platform to do just that.


What You'll Be Doing:


  • Taking the lead in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts and agreements

  • Playing a key role in supporting the tender process, ensuring legal compliance and helping to minimise risk

  • Acting as a trusted advisor to project teams and senior leaders across the business

  • Keeping all contractual and legal records well-organised and up to date, contributing to smooth project delivery


The Package:


  • Competitive salary: £30,000 - £40,000

  • Annual discretionary bonus to reward your contributions

  • Life assurance at 4x your salary

  • Generous pension scheme

  • Recognition rewards and vouchers for outstanding performance

  • Access to a wide range of perks via Perkbox

  • 31 days' annual leave including bank holidays

  • Employee Assistance Programme for additional wellbeing support


What We're Looking For:


  • A Law degree (or equivalent legal qualification)

  • Previous experience in a Paralegal role, ideally in a commercial or contracts-focused environment

  • Strong understanding of contract law and procurement processes

  • Excellent communication, organisational, and multitasking skills

  • Confidence using Microsoft Office and legal research tools


This is a rare opportunity to join a respected employer that values legal insight, rewards hard work, and encourages career progression. If you're ready to take your legal career to the next level, we'd love to hear from you.
