Employment Solicitor

Looking for a genuinely varied Employment role, quality work in a national team where you can build your employment law career in Newcastle?

A well-established Newcastle Employment team is looking for an ambitious solicitor to join its growing practice. You’ll work with a broad range of clients, including NHS trusts, education providers, schools, larger businesses and SMEs, gaining exposure to both day-to-day advisory work and more complex contentious matters.

This is a role with real autonomy from the outset. You’ll manage your own caseload, build client relationships and be supported to develop your network and progress your career.

What you’ll be doing

• Handling a mix of contentious and non-contentious respondent employment work
• Advising clients on day-to-day HR and employee relations issues
• Managing Employment Tribunal claims
• Developing client relationships and contributing to business development activity
• Working alongside a supportive, experienced Employment team

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a qualified Employment Solicitor with around 2 - 5 years’ PQE , ideally with:

• Strong respondent-side Employment experience
• Exposure to both advisory and Employment Tribunal work
• The confidence to manage a caseload with limited supervision
• A practical, commercial and client-focused approach
• An interest in building relationships

Applications are welcomed from lawyers in regional, national and boutique practices

Exceptional two-PQE candidates with strong prior pre-qualification experience are also encouraged to apply.

If you want high-quality work, responsibility and a clear route to progress within a respected and well established team with lots of longevity amongst their employees, this could be an excellent next move.

*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
