Having a combined experience of over 900 years of expert knowledge, our associates are a talented team of nurses and Occupational Therapists who are located throughout the UK.
Many still undertake a clinical role alongside their expert witness work. As an Expert Witness you will have a unique opportunity to use your specialist experience to assist courts and legal professionals in serious personal injury and clinical negligence cases.
You will join a team that are passionate about providing exemplary reports; and as a well established business, we are consistently and repeatedly instructed by our clients. No two instructions are the same and our associates have a diverse range of cases within their clinical range of expertise.
Becoming an Expert Witness can be a daunting prospect; however, by combining our inhouse training and development days with your own clinical knowledge, we are able to merge the two seamlessly through our online training and simulated assessments, empowering you with the skills to meet both your own, and the expectations of our customers. We offer CPD training days at least three times per year at the weekend where we meet in person, to discuss topics such as updates in case law and mentoring.
We offer flexible working, great renumeration, and a career that will enhance your clinical practice and passion for job satisfaction and stability. The hours you choose to work are entirely at your own discretion, can fit around other roles, and maintain a good work life balance. Working as an Expert Witness can be hugely rewarding in so many ways, progressing your career and allowing you to diversify your clinical experience. We offer internal growth as you progress with us, in later years.
