A little bit about us: East West Rail is a nationally significant railway project which aims to deliver much-needed transport connections for the vibrant communities between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge. Together these communities contribute around £111 billion to the national economy each year. EWR is one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects, which the government committed to delivering in full in the Autumn 2024 Budget, and again in the 2025 Spending Review as part of its ambition to unlock the potential of the Oxford to Cambridge Growth Corridor. EWR is being championed by the Government as a key driver to economic growth leading to a potential £78 Billion boost to the UK economy: supporting new towns, housing, and regeneration. Role Summary:   We are looking for a Paralegal to join our growing in-house Legal team. EWR Legal is a highly regarded, collaborative team working end‑to‑end across the full project lifecycle — from development and consenting through to delivery and operations. We’re deeply embedded in programme decision‑making, governance and risk management, partnering closely with senior leaders, delivery teams and external advisers. As our sole Paralegal, you’ll be central to keeping the function moving in a visible and trusted role. You’ll support claims, disclosure, compliance, drafting and document management, while also helping us build the tools and processes that underpin an effective in‑house legal service. You will also receive regular feedback and support from experienced in-house lawyers. The role offers broad exposure across several areas of law and an opportunity to develop strong legal, commercial and stakeholder management skills. This is a role with genuine growth potential: as the team expands, it's a rare opportunity to help shape an in-house legal function while building experience across both legal practice and legal operations.
