Employment Law Paralegal Needed for NHS Capability Appeal

I am seeking an experienced UK employment-law paralegal, litigation case-preparation specialist or similarly qualified professional to help prepare a comprehensive internal appeal following an NHS capability/dismissal process. This is not simply a proofreading or formatting task. I need someone who can review a substantial body of evidence, organise it logically and help turn it into a clear, persuasive, professionally structured appeal. The principal requirement is substantive case analysis, not document formatting. I need the appointed person to independently review the evidence and advise which material supports or undermines the employer’s findings, identify contradictions and procedural issues, and use that analysis to formulate and strengthen the grounds of appeal. Please do not apply solely on the basis of document design, administrative organisation or general research experience. Relevant UK employment casework, legal case preparation or comparable professional experience is required.The work is likely to include: reviewing correspondence, competency assessments, meeting records, policies and supporting evidence; preparing a detailed chronology; identifying inconsistencies, contradictions and evidential gaps; mapping evidence against each ground of appeal; distinguishing factual evidence from assertion; helping structure and draft the appeal document; creating an indexed and paginated evidence bundle; ensuring the appeal cross-references accurately to the supporting evidence. Experience of UK employment disciplinary, capability or dismissal cases is essential. Experience of NHS employment matters, healthcare capability cases, professional regulation, HCPC matters or complex internal appeals would be particularly valuable. Strong analytical skills are more important to me than document design. I am looking for someone who can interrogate the evidence and help construct the case, rather than simply make the document look professional. The completed work may later be reviewed by an employment solicitor or barrister. Please include in your proposal: your relevant employment-law or litigation experience; any NHS/healthcare or professional-regulatory experience; examples of similar appeal or evidence-bundle work; your qualifications; your availability over the next few days; whether you charge hourly or prefer a fixed project fee. This is a confidential matter and all documents will need to be handled accordingly. UK employment-law experience essential.Strong knowledge and practical experience of UK employment law, disciplinary/capability procedures and dismissal appeals is essential. Applicants may be based anywhere, provided they have demonstrable experience of UK cases.
