Senior Employment Law Solicitor – 5+ PQE

Kent | Hybrid | Full-Time or Part-Time

up to £90,000 + Uncapped Bonus & Commission

Ready to build something of your own?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Employment Law Solicitor to take ownership of and lead the Employment Law offering within a fast-growing firm with an ambitious expansion strategy, recent acquisitions, and a strong pipeline of work.

This is much more than a traditional fee-earning position. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the department, develop a team, and play a key role in the firm’s wider growth.

The Opportunity

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.
