Employment Solicitor

A leading national firm is offering an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and driven Solicitor to advance their career in Employment Law. The expanding Education Employment team is seeking a hardworking, ambitious individual with a passion for employment law and a keen interest in the education sector.

The Role

Joining a highly regarded and growing team, you will manage your own caseload of high-quality employment matters within the education sector. While prior experience in this field is advantageous, it is not essential—a genuine interest in this fascinating area is highly valued.

You will engage with a diverse range of work, covering unique and complex issues often influenced by political and media dynamics.

The role requires strategic thinking and innovative solutions, always with a commercial and risk-sensitive approach.

Key areas of focus include:

• Navigating national terms and conditions.


• Addressing industrial action and liaising with trade unions.


• Advising on TUPE and restructure processes.


• Managing child safeguarding and crisis management situations.

Flexible Working Approach: The firm champions flexibility and offers a modern approach to office attendance.

While face-to-face team meetings and client events are required, the locations are varied, meaning that geographic location is less important than a willingness to travel when necessary.

About you

• NQ - 4 years PQE.


• Previous experience in the education sector is a bonus but not essential.


• A passion for employment law, with a commercially minded and self-motivated approach.


• Strong client management skills and the ability to build lasting relationships.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious solicitor to join a dynamic team and contribute to meaningful work within the education sector.

Please note our advertisements use PQE and salary level purely as a guide.

We are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfil the role.
