📍 Bramhall, Stockport (Office-Based)
💰 £75,000 – £85,000 DOE
đź•’ Full-Time or Part-Time Considered

We are working with a highly respected specialist employment law practice seeking to appoint an experienced Senior Employment Law Solicitor (Senior Associate level) to join their growing team in Bramhall.

This is a standout opportunity for an accomplished employment lawyer looking to step into a more senior, autonomous role within a well-established and highly regarded niche practice. The firm is known for its technical excellence, strong client relationships, and supportive, close-knit culture.

This position would suit an experienced solicitor ready to take ownership of a complex caseload, contribute to the growth of the practice, and play a key role in shaping the team’s continued success.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Senior-level position with genuine autonomy and responsibility
  • Pure employment law focus within a specialist, high-quality practice
  • Opportunity to handle complex and high-value matters
  • Direct client access with trusted advisory responsibility
  • Supportive leadership team with strong reputation in the market
  • Opportunity to influence the growth and direction of the department
  • Flexible working options considered (full or part-time)

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.
