We are looking to recruit a talented Employment Solicitor to join our growing team. While this role is ideally suited to a solicitor with between 1 and 4 years' post-qualification experience, we welcome applications from candidates with more or less experience who can demonstrate the required skills, technical ability and enthusiasm for employment law.

Candidates should have:
- Strong employment law experience, whether gained in a specialist employment practice or a broader commercial firm
- Excellent communication and client-care skills
- Strong drafting and analytical abilities
