Who are we looking for?

We don’t have a type. We believe our differences are our strength; varied cultures, approaches, and experience can only benefit us.

What do we offer?

• You can be yourself: It takes everyone to make us who we are. We’re a culture of diverse perspectives, with each of us making unique contributions that make us better together.
• In the office or WFH?: We think the best balance is more time in the office than at home, so we operate a 60:40 rule.
• Beyond salary: We offer plenty of benefits; private medical insurance, health cash plan, dental insurance, life assurance, critical illness insurance, matched pension contributions up to 7%, holiday trading, plus many more.
• Modern Office Space: Located in the iconic Titanic Quarter with excellent commuter links and parking nearby.
• Nurturing your talent: Take a 'build a career' approach to your training. You’ll be on a pathway but free to wander if you see something you’d like to study more closely.
• Funnel your interests: You have a life outside work, and we can help it to flourish. Join clubs, affinity networks, inclusive events, and pro bono/charity initiatives.
• Inclusion is not exclusive: If all our differences are highlighted, no one stands out for being different. At Fieldfisher, all our rich diversity is celebrated.
