Salary: Competitive (depending on experience) + Benefits

Contract Type: Full-time, 12-Month Fixed Term Contract

About the Role:

We’re working with a leading values-driven law firm to assist them in hiring an Employment Solicitor to join their Employment & Pensions team on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with an immediate start.

You’ll be supporting a well-established team that advises clients across a wide range of sectors, with a strong emphasis on work for social care providers. The role offers a great opportunity for a solicitor with broad employment law experience – including both contentious and non-contentious matters.

You’ll report directly to a partner in the team, working alongside colleagues based in Manchester and Birmingham to provide high-quality advice and representation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Handle a mixed caseload of employment law matters, including:
• Contentious work – employment tribunals, case preparation, and advocacy (primarily respondent work)
• Non-contentious advisory work – contracts, policies, procedures, settlement agreements, disciplinary and grievance issues
• Provide clear and pragmatic advice to clients on a range of HR and employment law issues
• Draft legal documents and prepare correspondence on behalf of clients
• Assist with the management of tribunal claims, including instructions to counsel where required
• Build strong relationships with clients, primarily in the social care sector, while remaining open to work across a wider client base
• Contribute to legal updates and knowledge-sharing within the team
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across Manchester and Birmingham offices

Key Skills and Experience:

• Qualified solicitor (newly qualified to 4 years PQE) with experience in employment law
• Exposure to both contentious and non-contentious work is essential
• Experience acting on behalf of respondents in tribunal proceedings
• Excellent communication and drafting skills
• Strong organisational abilities and a proactive approach to case management
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Previous experience with clients in the social care or not-for-profit sectors is beneficial but not essential

What Our Client Offers:

• Supportive and collaborative working culture
• Hybrid working arrangements from Birmingham.
• Exposure to high-quality, meaningful work with purpose-led clients
• Strong team environment across both offices
• Competitive salary and benefits package

Working Hours:

Monday to Friday, full-time

If you\'re an Employment Solicitor looking to take on a broad, impactful role within a respected firm and work with dedicated clients in the social care space, we’d love to hear from you!
