Job Description

A Local Authority is seeking an experienced Employment Lawyer to join its legal services team on a fully remote basis. This is an excellent opportunity to advise on a wide range of employment matters within a large and diverse public sector organisation.

Working closely with HR, senior management and internal departments, you will provide practical and commercially focused legal support across both contentious and non-contentious employment issues.

The Role

The successful candidate will undertake a varied workload which may include:

  * Advising on disciplinary, grievance, capability and sickness absence matters

  * Supporting HR teams on complex employee relations issues

  * Managing Employment Tribunal claims from initial instruction through to hearing

  * Drafting and reviewing employment-related documentation, policies and settlement agreements

  * Advising on redundancy, restructuring and TUPE matters

  * Providing legal support on equality, discrimination and whistleblowing issues

  * Delivering pragmatic and risk-based legal advice to officers and senior stakeholders

  * Instructing and liaising with external counsel where appropriate

  * Keeping up to date with developments in employment legislation and case law

Candidate Requirements

The ideal candidate will be a qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive with demonstrable employment law experience.

You should possess:

  * Strong knowledge of employment law and tribunal procedure

  * Experience handling a broad range of contentious and advisory employment matters

  * Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills

  * The ability to manage competing priorities effectively

  * Confidence advising stakeholders at all levels of seniority

  * A proactive and solution-focused approach to legal support

Previous Local Authority or public sector experience would be beneficial but is not essential for candidates with strong relevant expertise.

What’s on Offer
