Are you an experienced Employment Solicitor with a passion for legal developments, knowledge sharing and helping others deliver exceptional client service? Perhaps you are already working as a Professional Support Lawyer, or are ready to take your career in a new direction.
The opportunity

You will become a trusted source of technical expertise, helping colleagues navigate an ever-changing employment law landscape and ensuring the team has the tools, knowledge and confidence to deliver the best possible advice to clients.

- Contribute to the team's profile through insightful articles, client communications and thought leadership.
- Explore innovative ways of working, embracing technology and AI to make processes more efficient and effective.
- Depending on your experience and interests, there may also be opportunities to retain some involvement in client work or fee-earning activities.
What are we looking for?
We are keen to hear from technically strong Employment Solicitors who enjoy being at the forefront of legal developments and sharing their expertise with others.
You might be an established PSL or Knowledge Lawyer looking for a fresh challenge, or an Employment Solicitor considering a move away from a purely fee-earning role.
