Recruitment drive launched by Minster Law to fill key posts
YORKSHIRE-BASED MINSTER Law has launched a recruitment drive in a bid to fill more than 40 vacancies.
The business, which employs around 480 people from its Wakefield headquarters, needs to recruit staff for a wide range of permanent roles.
These include entry-level jobs in the company’s customer service, administration, finance and trainee legal adviser teams, as well as positions for more experienced people with personal injury experience in claims and legal services.
Minster Law specialises in helping people who have been injured in road traffic accidents. The company has partnerships with a number of leading insurers and brokers to provide their customers with claims services, including legal help, following an accident.
Sarah Atkin, head of legal practice for Minster Law, said “As we broaden and expand the services we offer, we are seeking new talent to support our ambitious growth plans,” she said.
“Our recruitment programme will help us manage growth this year and beyond. These are exciting times for the business and we’re keen to attract talented people who are committed to helping our thousands of customers and sharing in our success.
“We’ve had some challenges in recruiting people with the skills and experience to step straight into some positions, particularly in professional services, IT and change management, and we’ve focused on recruiting junior talent and then training and developing them ourselves once they join.”
Shirley Woolham, the chief executive of Minster Law, wants to ensure that more victims of road accidents gain access to justice.
Ms Woolham, who took on the chief executive’s role last summer, also aims to create longterm career opportunities for local people.
