This is a rare opportunity for a junior employment lawyer to move in-house with a well known healthcare brand to act as their first solely dedicated Employment Counsel. Sitting alongside the People team this role will work closely with the HR Director, and with support from the General Counsel, to provide legal and commercial advise on anything related to employment issues or employee disputes.
As the employment counsel role sits within the business, this opportunity is most suitable to either private practice lawyers who already know they want to develop a long term career in-house, or those already in-house looking to get a greater proximity to an HR team and wider business. It is envisaged that the employment counsel role will have plenty of room for growth and therefore, for guidance purposes only, candidates will likely have around 1-3 years of post qualified experience within employment law.
On offer is a competitive salary and package as well as the opportunity to curate and develop this new role in a quasi legal/business setting. Support and guidance will be provided by other senior lawyers in the team but this role will take sole responsibility for all employment law work, including utilising external counsel where necessary.
