Business Process Analyst / Legal Operations Team / Legal Operations Analyst / Legal Operations Assistant / Data Analyst / Operations Assistant

Preston head office with hybrid working.

Salary + Bonus scheme + benefits that support your health and wellbeing + hybrid working patterns + full time or part time.


This is a new role reporting into our recently appointed Operations Manager. 

You will help identify areas for improvement using data and industry knowledge. That is why we think experience of the legal sector would be very helpful.

This is a similar role to a Business Analyst, where you will go out into the business, meet colleagues, learn their ways of working and start mapping out the process. 

You can also support our work around enhancing business reporting and management information across the firm. You are comfortable analysing data through a variety of statistical methods and models.

You are probably someone who is very skilled with spreadsheets, systems and all things data. Completing data mapping for processes across various departments is on the 'To do list'.

You ask a lot of questions and we don't mind, in fact we want you to do that around the business. 

Apply only if you have an enquiring mind.

At Napthens we're more than just a firm of solicitors and lawyers.

The business services functions are a vital part of how we operate, providing essential support to allow the legal professionals to carry out their work and support our clients.

From marketing to technology, risk and compliance to operations, and HR to finance, the business services teams make up around a third of our colleagues.

We provide ongoing career support to all our colleagues, often providing long-standing careers both in the firm and in the legal profession.

Salary + Bonus scheme + benefits that support your health and wellbeing, hybrid working patterns, full time.

Our head office is Preston and we have five (5) other offices in the north west region including Blackburn, Lytham, Kendal, Southport and Liverpool.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
