Job Description

I'm working with a well-regarded employee ownedfirm who are looking to add an Employment Solicitor to their Leeds office. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone at NQ-3 years PQE who wants to build on their experience in employment law, particularly on the claimant side.

You'll join a genuinely supportive team where you'll work closely with an experienced Partner, handling a broad mix of employment work and advising on settlement agreements. The firm offers a structured environment, great training, and the chance to really grow your skills.

What you'll be doing
  • Managing your own caseload of employment matters under supervision
  • Handling files from initial instruction all the way through to completion
  • Supporting the wider Employment team with ongoing matters
  • Advising clients clearly and confidently on settlement agreements
  • Preparing documentation, billing files, and ensuring compliance with procedures
  • Providing friendly, professional client service at every stage
What they're looking for
  • An Employment Solicitor NQ-3 PQE
  • At least 6 months' experience within employment work
  • A good understanding of the employment tribunal process
  • Someone organised, methodical and able to work efficiently under pressure
  • Excellent communication skills - written, verbal and face-to-face
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to explain technical issues in a clear, client-friendly way
  • Confident IT skills and a proactive, can-do attitude

Why this role? If you're looking for that next career step - somewhere you can develop, be supported, and have your hard work recognised - this is a really strong opportunity. The team is friendly, the work is high quality, and the hybrid model (3 days in, 2 days out)offers a great balance once you've completed your probation.

The firm is also owned by employees, so once you've been there for at least 1 year you get a share in the profits - no brainer!
