Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office within our Pembrokeshire to Gloucestershire network, for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.

• Be the warm, professional first point of contact for some new enquiries – listening carefully, asking the right questions, and capturing the details that truly matter.
• Gain valuable hands-on experience across the full journey of a case, from requesting medical records and preparing court bundles to taking witness statements when needed.
