Lawyer - Equal Pay
Application Deadline: 16 October 2026
Department: Employment Rights
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: North West
Compensation: £34,379 / year
Description
Are you a Lawyer or Legal Executive looking for the next step in your career? Our Employment Rights Equal Pay team is expanding, and we’re looking for a new colleague to join us in either our Manchester or Liverpool office.
The role...
The role will involve assisting on existing cases and managing a caseload of predominantly equal pay claims. While the balance will initially be weighted towards assisting on existing files, there will be clear opportunities to take ownership of your own caseload as you develop in the role.
This position offers the chance to join a market leading team, gain hands-on experience across the full spectrum of case management, requiring sound theoretical knowledge, strong judgement, and the ability to support and progress cases from inception through to resolution.
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.
