Job Description:

Are you looking for an opportunity to accelerate your Employment Law career in a genuinely supportive and specialist environment?

A well-regarded boutique practice in South Manchester is looking to recruit an NQ–1 Year PQE Employment Solicitor to join its growing team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a junior lawyer who wants to develop quickly, gain significant responsibility from the outset and work closely alongside an experienced Employment Partner on a broad range of high-quality matters.

You will advise on a varied mix of both respondent and claimant employment matters, including:

  • Discrimination and whistleblowing matters
  • Settlement agreements
  • Redundancy and restructuring projects
  • Disciplinary and grievance issues
  • Employment contracts and workplace policies
  • Day-to-day HR and employment law advice

The firm boasts a substantial and longstanding employment client base, ensuring a steady flow of interesting and complex instructions across a wide range of sectors.

Applications are welcomed from candidates who:

  • Are NQ to 1 year PQE
  • Have gained employment law experience during training or post-qualification
  • Have previous Employment Paralegal experience (highly advantageous)
  • Enjoy acting for both employers and employees
  • Are ambitious and eager to take on responsibility
  • Have strong communication and client-facing skills
  • Ideally live in or around South Manchester or Cheshire
  • Work directly with an experienced Employment Partner
  • Exposure to high-quality claimant and respondent matters
  • Develop technical and commercial skills quickly
  • Early responsibility and client contact
  • Fast-track opportunity to manage your own files
  • Strong pipeline of work from an established employment client base

This is an excellent opportunity for a junior Employment Solicitor seeking quality work, genuine mentoring and the chance to build a successful long-term career within a thriving specialist practice.
