They support the NHS and other organisations across the public, private and third sectors, delivering expert legal advice drawn from deep sector knowledge and experience.

What you’ll be doing:

We are looking for a Solicitor (1-3 PQE) to join our national employment team and work with us on the extensive range of services we provide. The role will involve working on a range of complex contentious and non-contentious matters including general employment advisory work, the handling of complex employment tribunal claims, high-profile cases, and advising on reorganisation and redundancy issues with a focus on healthcare legislation.

The national team is headed up by Andrew Davidson who is a leading 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.

With long-standing clients across the entire health and social care spectrum, we advise providers, commissioners, regulators and policy makers, providing robust, actionable and knowledgeable advice quickly across the full range of services our clients need.

What do I need?

Employment law experience with at least 1 to 3 years PQE.
Experience of advising clients in the health, social care and third sector organisations. Experience of the NHS would be advantageous but not essential.
Must have experience working on tribunal claims and other contentious matters and an ability to undertake the day‑to‑day conduct of ET litigation files is essential.
Interested in business development and marketing; you will have the support from our dedicated Client Services team.
