Job description

Are you an experienced Employment Lawyer or senior HR professional ready to take your career in a new direction? This is your opportunity to step away from traditional fee-earning and immerse yourself in complex, high-stakes employment workplace investigations at one of the UK's most respected law firms and highly ranked employment team.

We're working with a leading national law firm, consistently ranked in the Top 50, to find a Senior Workplace Investigator to join their expanding team. This is a rare chance to go "under the bonnet" of critical employment issues - discrimination, whistleblowing, grievances and board-level disputes - delivering objective, trusted insight to high-profile clients across sectors including education, healthcare, transport, energy and professional services.

This is a chance to:

• Move beyond billing: focus on depth, accuracy and influence - not time sheets or chargeable hours
• Apply your expertise: use your employment law knowledge and investigative instincts to unravel the facts behind sensitive, high-level situations
• Craft compelling reports: you'll be the author of detailed, balanced and digestible investigation reports that guide senior decision-makers
• A problem-solver's dream: this is ideal for someone who thrives on detail, nuance and the human side of workplace issues
• Emotionally intelligent interviewing: engage with individuals at all levels - from frontline staff to C-suite Executives - with empathy and clarity.

The ideal candidate is likely to be:

• A qualified Solicitor (3 + PQE) in employment law or a senior HR professional with investigation experience
• Has managed or advised on complex workplace investigations
• Has a strong grasp of employment law
• Excellent drafting skills

On offer for you is not just an opportunity to do something different, but hybrid and flexible working - which includes being able to offer full time, part time or zero hours contracts for this position. This is in addition to a competitive benefits scheme and remuneration package.

This is a standout role for an analytical, detail-oriented professional who enjoys solving complex problems and making a tangible impact - without the pressure of billing targets.

If you're ready to evolve your career into something more strategic, investigative and human-focused, we'd love to hear from you.
