Legal Counsel - Employment Law (UK)
Are you an employment lawyer with strong UK employment law experience, thinking about a move in-house or your next career step? If you’re looking for a role where you can get closer to the business, influence real decisions, and work in a hybrid environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What the Day Will Look Like

- Advise on key areas including:
- Redundancy
- TUPE (Transfers of Undertakings)
- Disciplinary and grievance matters
- Restrictive covenants
- Employment Tribunal claims (with external counsel when needed).
- Support policy development, deliver training, and help embed best practice across the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You may also gain exposure to wider EMEA matters, contributing to a well-connected global legal function.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers:
- A highly visible position where your advice directly shapes business decisions.
- Interaction with a wide range of stakeholders, offering real variety in daily tasks.
- A genuinely flexible and inclusive environment where diverse backgrounds and career paths are valued.
- Opportunities to grow your career and develop skills in a commercial, people-focused setting.
