Job description

NQ Employment Solicitor

Right Match Recruitment Group is delighted to be partnering with a prestigious, forward-thinking law firm as they continue to grow their successful Employment Department.

This is an excellent opportunity for an NQ Employment Solicitor looking to build their career within a supportive and ambitious firm that genuinely invests in the development and progression of its people.

About the Role

You will join an established Employment team advising both employers and employees across a broad range of employment matters, including:

• Employment Tribunal matters and litigation
• Settlement Agreements
• TUPE
• Mediation
• Employment policies and procedures
• General employment advice

You will work closely with experienced solicitors and partners, gaining valuable exposure to a varied caseload while developing your technical, commercial and client-facing skills.

About You

We are looking for an NQ Employment Solicitor who is:

• Newly qualified or due to qualify in Employment Law
• Commercially minded and client-focused

Working Arrangements

This is currently an office-based role in Orpington, particularly at NQ level.

The firm believes that being in the office during the early stages of your career provides the best opportunity to learn, develop and gain hands‑on experience alongside more senior members of the team.

Hybrid working is something the firm offers once you are more established within the business. This could be from around one year onwards, depending on your individual progress, development and level of experience.

The firm is therefore not advertising this as a hybrid role at this stage, but there is the potential for greater flexibility as you develop within the business.

Why Join?

This is more than simply your next job. The firm offers genuine career development and progression, with a partner-led approach designed to support junior members of the team and help them build their skills and confidence.

You will be joining a collaborative and welcoming environment where you will be given the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, take on increasing responsibility and progress as your career develops.
