Paralegal Role

An excellent opportunity to take the first step towards a legal career or to further a legal career in its early stages. The Legal Services Department of Gloucestershire Constabulary provides in-house legal services to the Chief Constable and his officers and the paralegal will provide support to the Force Solicitor and members of the Legal Services team.

 

As a case-holder with conduct of case-types including Family and Non-Family Disclosure, Police Property Disposal and Dog Destruction Orders, the paralegal will handle each one from start to finish: carry out investigations, liaise with relevant parties (solicitors, other Gloucestershire Constabulary units, governing bodies, courts etc.) instruct Counsel, draft paperwork, give advice, make decisions and conclude cases. At all times, the paralegal will have support and guidance from our team of lawyer.

 

The paralegal will also support the in-house lawyer team in defending the Chief Constable against a wide range of claims – everything from civil actions to employment tribunals and misconduct hearings; helping to prepare cases and carry out investigations, conducting research, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses.
