Locum Employment Lawyer

Locum Employment Lawyer – Remote Working – Up to £50 per hour (Umbrella) – East Midlands

Venn Group’s specialist legal team are thrilled to be recruiting for a Locum Employment Lawyer to join a reputable Public Sector Organisation based in the East Midlands. This assignment is offered for a period of 3 – 6 months and will be worked on a predominantly remote basis.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified Solicitor, Legal Executive or Barrister with previous Employment Law experience to become a part of a well-established public sector organisation.

Daily duties may include:

• Representing the client before Tribunals, Courts (including higher Courts) and at internal panels

• Advising on employment matters (both contentious and non-contentious) and representing clients in employment tribunals

• Handling employment tribunal claims including cases of whistleblowing, unfair dismissal and discrimination

• Providing advice on matters relating to employment issues affecting the client, including general employment advice

• Offering guidance with respect to staff misconduct proceedings

• Using case management skills in relation to ET’s and EC’s

• Drafting and negotiating

• Advising senior managers and HR professionals  on a range of employment law issues

A rate of up to £50 per hour umbrella is offered for this position. Candidates will be considered on a case by case basis, and the hourly rate shown will be dependent upon levels of experience – there may be a degree of flexibility for the right candidate.

Venn Group is an equal opportunities employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates
