Senior Employment Lawyer | Pathfinder Legal Services
£52,415 - £60,030 DOE | Hybrid | Office attendance once a month
A genuinely interesting opportunity for an experienced employment solicitor looking for complex work, sophisticated clients and considerably more flexibility than you might expect from a public sector role.
Pathfinder Legal Services is looking to appoint a Senior Employment Lawyer to join its growing employment team.
The role offers a varied caseload covering both contentious and non-contentious employment matters. You’ll advise a sophisticated client base, predominantly large public sector and not-for-profit organisations with established HR functions. That means the work is typically substantive and complex, rather than being dominated by routine HR queries.
The Role
- Managing and advising on Employment Tribunal proceedings
- Providing advice on complex employment matters
- Handling both contentious and non-contentious work
- Building trusted, long-term client relationships
- Supporting a broad portfolio of public sector organisations
- Advising sophisticated clients and working closely with experienced HR teams
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.
What They’re Looking For
You’ll need solid experience of Employment Tribunal proceedings and be comfortable managing complex employment matters with a good degree of autonomy. Experience of TUPE would be particularly beneficial.
Applications are welcomed from both local government and private practice backgrounds. Pathfinder’s model combines the technical standards and variety of a professional legal practice with the purpose and stability of public service.
Why Consider It?
- £52,415 - £60,030 depending on experience
- Complex and varied employment work
- No traditional private practice billing culture
- 26 days’ annual leave, increasing with service
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- Strong flexible and hybrid working arrangements
- Genuine opportunities for mentoring and professional development
- Office attendance just one day per month in Northampton, Shefford or Huntingdon
