Employment Solicitor 3+ PQE Manchester, Leeds or Birmingham | Hybrid Working | Leading National Law Firm
A highly regarded national law firm is seeking an Employment Solicitor to join its expanding Insurance practice at an exciting period of continued growth.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Employment specialist looking to develop their career within a supportive and progressive firm.
With flexible hybrid working, you'll only be required to attend the office one day per week, with the remainder of your time working from home. For those who prefer a greater office presence, this is fully supported but not required.
The Role
You will manage a predominantly respondent-based employment caseload, acting for clients on a range of employment matters including unfair dismissals. The team benefits from a consistent flow of quality work, meaning there is no expectation for business development or networking to generate work or clients. Whilst the work is, Respondent applications are welcomed from both Claimant and Respondent Lawyers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
