Job description

The Opportunity

Join a well-established and highly regarded Yorkshire regional practice as part of their dynamic mixed claimant and respondent Employment team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a talented NQ+ solicitor to build a rewarding career in employment law with a firm that genuinely invests in its people.

Working in the heart of Central Leeds, you'll be part of a collaborative, supportive environment where professional development is prioritised and success is celebrated collectively.

The Role

You'll receive comprehensive supervision and training from an experienced Employment Partner who is genuinely passionate about developing junior talent. This partner takes a progressive, hands-on approach to mentorship, ensuring you build both technical excellence and commercial awareness.

Your caseload will initially be claimant-focused with a blend of non-contentious work. While drafting settlement agreements will form the foundation of your practice, you\'ll quickly develop exposure to a diverse range of employment matters including discrimination claims, unfair dismissal, whistleblowing, TUPE, and contractual disputes.

This varied workload provides the perfect platform to develop comprehensive employment law expertise whilst building confidence in client relationships and case management.

About You

The ideal candidate will have completed a seat in claimant employment work during their training contract, or possess solid paralegal experience within a claimant-facing employment team.

What’s On Offer

• Employee Ownership - Become a genuine stakeholder through the firm\'s Employee Owned Trust structure with annual bonuses of circa £4,000
• Career Progression - Exceptional development opportunities with a firm renowned for promoting from within and nurturing talent
• Collaborative Culture - Fantastic team environment where everyone supports each other and knowledge sharing is embedded in daily practice
• Competitive Package - Salary commensurate with experience plus excellent benefits package
• Quality Training - Structured mentorship from an experienced Partner committed to your professional development
• Prime Location - Modern offices in Central Leeds with excellent transport links and local amenities

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking firm that combines excellent quality work, genuine progression opportunities, and a culture where people truly matter.

The firm\'s employee-owned structure means you\'ll have a real stake in the business from day one, and their strong track record of internal promotion demonstrates their commitment to developing careers, not just filling roles.

To Apply

If you\'re an ambitious junior employment solicitor looking to grow your career in a supportive, collaborative environment, we\'d love to hear from you.
