Employment Solicitor - Healthcare Sector

Employment Solicitor

A very highly regarded Legal 500 and Chambers rated national practice is keen to appoint an Employment Solicitor to its growing Employment Team and be based at the firms' Birmingham city centre office.

This firm is renowned as a specialist in the healthcare sector and is proud of its long association with the NHS, the Department of Health, independent healthcare providers and charities, as well as medical defence insurers and regulatory bodies. The Employment Team comprises around 50 members nationally and specialises in employment matters with a healthcare bias. The team delivers legal advice and training on a wide range of employment law issues, from board level to more generalist low level HR issues.

The firm is keen to hear from a solicitor from NQ level right up to, say, 3 years; PQE. If an NQ you will have completed at least a seat in employment and ideally will also have pre-qualification paralegal experience, although this is not a pre-requisite.

You will deal with both contentious and non-contentious matters to include advisory work, Tribunal claims, whistleblowing, TUPE and changes in legislation. Whilst respondent experience is preferred, the firm is open to those from a claimant background as long as they can demonstrate experience of undertaking corporate support and providing generalist non-contentious HR advice.

The Employment Team has a reputation for working on the most sensitive and high profile cases so this is an ideal opportunity to join an expanding team within a Top 100 firm and which is offering access to the very best quality matters. This role will allow you to have direct involvement in shaping how healthcare providers operate so it will be very rewarding for those who have a genuine interest in the healthcare sector. Likewise, this position is a world away from dealing with corporate entities at a more commercially focused practice.

The firm is offering an excellent salary and benefits package which includes a lucrative bonus scheme and a generous holiday allowance. There are an abundance of progression and development opportunities on offer as well so this is a rare chance to join one of the sectors' leading and most dynamic firms which is proud to boast a supportive and collaborative environment.
