Right Match Recruitment Group is proud to be working in partnership with a highly regarded, forward-thinking law firm that is experiencing continued growth and expansion within its successful Employment Department.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Employment Solicitor with 4+ years PQE to join a progressive firm where your expertise will be valued, your contribution recognised and your career development supported.

• General Employment Advice

You will manage your own matters and client relationships, whilst working alongside Partners and experienced colleagues.

There is also scope to become increasingly involved in the development and growth of the department, making this an excellent role for someone who wants more than simply managing a caseload.

A Role With Responsibility

As an experienced member of the team, you will have the opportunity to mentor NQ Solicitors and support junior members of the department, sharing your experience and helping others develop.

You will also work closely with the department's support staff, contributing to a collaborative environment where everyone plays an important role in delivering an excellent service to clients.

This is a role where your experience can make a real difference.

This gives you the flexibility to work remotely whilst retaining the benefits of face-to-face collaboration, knowledge sharing and team interaction within the office.

Why This Firm?

The Employment Department is continuing to grow, creating genuine opportunities for an experienced solicitor to take on greater responsibility, develop their career and play a key role in the department's future success.
