London (Central) | Hybrid – 3 days in the office
UK Law Firm | 12-month FTC
This is a really good opportunity to spend the next 12 months working in a supportive HR team, at a successful law firm where you'll be trusted to do your job properly.
You'll have the autonomy to build strong relationships across the business, work closely with partners and senior leaders, and make a genuine contribution.
You'll also have a good work-life balance. Long hours aren't the norm here. It's simply not how the firm operates. And importantly, this is a very successful law firm, competing with some of the best in the market.
With around 800 people, all based in one London office, the firm is large enough to offer plenty of variety and interesting work, but small enough that you'll get to know people and build meaningful relationships.
The role itself?
You'll work closely with the Head of HR, alongside two other HR Managers, HR Advisers and Assistants, as well as specialists across Recruitment, Learning & Development and D&I.
It's a broad generalist role, operating very much as an HR Business Partner. You'll have plenty of variety, the freedom to use your judgement and the opportunity to contribute ideas.
HR is evolving at the firm, so you'll also have the chance to help shape how things are done.
The team?
This is another big selling point.
I know the HR leadership team personally and have worked with them for years. They're down-to-earth, approachable and genuinely care about their people.
It's a positive, collaborative environment where HR is respected and valued.
Who are we looking for?
Ideally, you'll already be working in HR within a law firm, either as an HR Manager or an experienced HR Business Partner.
However, if your background is in the wider professional services market, you'll absolutely be considered.
Yes, it's a 12-month contract, but I think it could be a really enjoyable and rewarding year with a very good team.
