What you’ll be doing:

We are looking for a technical employment lawyer to join our national employment team and work with us on the extensive range of services we provide. The national team is headed up by Andrew Davidson, a leading employment lawyer with many years of experience across the public sector, more specifically the NHS. You will be able to gain an insight into all aspects of both contentious and non-contentious employment work and have a real opportunity to develop your career with HF.

Our Employment team operates on a national basis across several of our offices, predominantly across our London, Manchester and Harrogate offices and offers an exceptional depth of knowledge and experience of the health and social care sectors.
