r/leicester

Hi everyone,

I’m graduating from the Uni of Leicester this year and, if all goes well, I should be coming out with a first class law degree. I’m trying to get my foot into the legal industry and I’m honestly open to anything at this stage, legal assistant, paralegal, caseworker, admin support. Just something to get started. Ideally I’d love a paralegal role.

I was wondering if anyone here has any advice on how to actually break into the legal sector locally, or if you know of any firms or organisations around Leicester (or nearby cities like Nottingham, Birmingham, etc) that might be hiring.

For a bit of background, I did a legal internship a couple of years back at the AG Chambers in malaysia, and I’ve also been a caseworker for a pro bono project at uni. Aside from that, most of my work experience has been in unrelated areas like food and beverage, so I’m a bit worried my CV isn’t as strong as others going straight into law.

I’m aware of the classic, “just network” advice but it doesn’t really seem to be going anywhere for me.

Would really appreciate any tips, advice, or even just pointing me in the right direction. Thanks a lot!

Looking for nice restaurants to eat with good food and vibes. We are a family with little kids so somewhere kid friendly would be great x

Hi, this may be a weird request to a few but I left my whoop charger in London and really needed to wear it for a few days for medical reasons, would very much appreciate it if there happens to be a fellow whoop user near me who would let me top off my whoop today.

Im based in LE1 right in city center so please dm me if you can help, im glad to reimburse the hospitality with a coffee or something :)

Looking for chicken shish and cheese chips.

Hi all,

Starting a new job soon and will be moving to Leicester still trying to find a place to live, luckily I have the option of being picky and am trying to find a flat in a high rise or something.

I would appreciate any advice on places to avoid or places that are nice or just general places that are nice to go out to.

Not sure which retailers sell them (other than Smyths ofc) or if there are any dedicated TGC shops in the city centre?

If anyone knows of any lmk

Does anyone know of any vape or electronics shops in Leicester that might be willing to buy devices like this? I’ve got a heated tobacco device that I’m looking to sell but most second-hand selling platforms (like Marketplace, Vinted, etc) have pretty strict rules around selling tobacco or nicotine-related products, so that’s made things a bit tricky.

Morning.

I'm a public philosopher in the process of organising a half-day philosophy event in Leicester in late May.

Never mind the specifics, they aren't important to my question and they'd put me at risk of violating rule 6 anyway.

My question is: do people commonly travel to Leicester for events from places like Birmingham, Nottingham, etc?

Should I be promoting the event in areas "nearby" to Leicestershire, or is that unadvisable?

Thanks for whatever advice you can offer.

Need some help please!

Due to work I need to find a decent place to live in Leicester that has a direct bus to Fosse Park

Most options I see are either Narborough Rd. or LE1 which I'm trying to avoid unless I really have to, and even then I'd take Narborough rd over LE1 any day.

I got a few places in mind but wondering if there's more options:

- Narborough (as in actual Narborough, not rd)

- Dane Hills/Western Park close-ish to Hinckley Rd, lots of transport there

- Outer Narborough Rd (the outer half past around KFC isn't too bad)

Side rant: Mental to me there isn't a single viable bus from LE2 to Fosse. Gutted I have to leave such a nice neighbourhood just because our bus routes are terrible.

If it helps, I'm looking to rent not buy.

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who's replying. I'm not home right now to check your recommendations but I'll reply to everyone soon as I can!

Gerardo charges about £12, don't want to pay an outlandish amount for someone else.

Anyone going to record store day?! It’s my first time not sure when’s best to head over!
