Employment Solicitor (NQ+) | Hybrid | Croydon | Up to £55,000 + Bonus
I'm partnering with a well-established organisation to recruit an Employment Solicitor to join a collaborative and highly regarded Corporate Services Employment Law team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified solicitor looking to develop their employment law career in a role that offers genuine work-life balance, exposure to a broad range of complex matters, and the chance to advise a diverse portfolio of well-known corporate clients.
The Role
Working as part of an experienced team, you'll provide commercially focused employment law advice to employer clients across a wide range of sectors. You'll advise HR professionals, Directors and senior stakeholders by phone and email, helping them navigate day-to-day employment law issues with practical, business-focused solutions.
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.
