Paralegal

Bring structure, visibility, and accountability About Life Couriers Life Couriers is one of the world’s most trusted healthcare logistics partners. For more than forty years, we have moved the shipments that cannot be late and cannot fail. These shipments include radiopharmaceuticals with a half-life measured in hours, stem cells travelling from a donor to a waiting patient, investigational product for clinical trials, and therapies delivered directly into the home. Today we operate in more than thirteen countries, employ around 750 people and handle approximately nine million shipments a year. We are backed by JLL Partners and headquartered in Munich under SLS Group GmbH. We are organized around four global business units Radiopharma, Point of Care, Emergency and Life Sciences. Each is led globally, each is building at pace, and each is supported by a single international operating model rather than a collection of country businesses. This is a company with four decades of operating credibility and the ambition and ownership structure to move quickly. What Our Business Units Cover Direct-to-Patient: Time-critical, temperature-controlled therapy delivery into the home and the point of care. Clinical Trials: Investigational product, clinical trial samples, central laboratory, and lab-to-lab movements, supporting sponsors and CROs across multiple geographies. Stem Cell: A donor-to-recipient on-board courier service, hand-carried by our own couriers from harvest through to the transplanting physician. Cell and Gene Therapy: Our fastest-growing frontier. Apheresis material, cryogenic shipping, and the advanced therapy supply chain, including the rising demand for on-board courier service through the clinical phase. Across all of it, our definition of time-critical is uncompromising: single shipment, door to door, typically inside 48 hours. This is not freight forwarding and it is not consolidation. Our CARE Values Our CARE Values are at the heart of how we work and how we lead. Customer excellence , Accountability , Respect and Enthusiasm shape the way we treat our people, our clients and the patients who ultimately depend on the services we provide. For this role, living our CARE Values means putting the patient and customer at the centre of decision‑making, taking ownership for outcomes, building trusted and respectful relationships, and setting consistently high standards across a complex global operation.
