Might want to look at some of the paralegal hubs up north/Birmingham. Most people start there with no prior experience. Pay and hours are a bit exploitative but it gets you a foot in the door. AG and Eversheds usually have a lot of positions. Recruiters are usually only interested if you've got some experience

Thank you, I will look at those firms. I can’t really afford to re locate at the moment as I am down south!
