Job description

Employment Professional Support Lawyer | Manchester | £70,000–£80,000

This is a chance to shape how employment law knowledge is shared and used at an award-winning commercial practice with a distinctive way of working. Its approach brings employment law, HR advice and practical training together to give businesses joined-up support.

You’ll help a growing team stay ahead of legal developments and give its lawyers the tools to deliver clear, useful advice. The salary is £70,000–£80,000, with flexible or part-time working available.

As the Employment PSL, you’ll support the team with legal updates, research, precedents and practical guidance. You’ll help plan and deliver training, create useful content for clients and colleagues, and find better ways to capture and share knowledge.

The Employment team advises businesses on everyday people issues, workplace change, documentation, training and disputes, with HR support available through the wider business. That gives you the opportunity to create resources grounded in the issues clients are actually facing.

The flexibility

The role can be shaped around full-time or part-time working, with flexibility around how you work. If you’re an experienced employment lawyer who wants to focus on the technical and people-development side of practice while staying connected to the realities of client work, this could be a refreshing next step.
