  • Solicitor with c.4+ years PQE (candidates with equivalent experience will be considered)
  • Proven Employment Tribunal advocacy experience, including multi‑day hearings
  • Strong technical knowledge of employment law (dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, equal pay, grievances)
  • Good teamworking, mentoring/supervision experience and ability to manage mixed caseloads
  • Excellent communication, organisation, time management and attention to detail
  • Comfortable with travel to hearings and working to client/internal SLAs and targets
