About the Company
A prestigious boutique firm is growing its Employment team in Bristol. This office didn't launch that long ago and is already building real momentum, making this a rare chance to get in early and grow with it rather than join an established machine.
About the Role
This is a small, genuinely boutique operation rather than a scaled-down version of a national firm. The Bristol Employment team is growing fast and building a solid reputation. You'd be working alongside colleagues who've come from big-firm backgrounds, so you get that quality of training and technical rigor, without the bureaucracy, the billable-hour pressure-cooker, or being one of forty associates fighting for a partner's attention.
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.
Responsibilities
- Running your own caseload of employment matters for a mix of employer and employee clients
- Getting genuine exposure to both contentious work (Tribunal claims, disputes) and non-contentious advisory work
- Working directly alongside experienced, big-firm-trained colleagues, with real access to their time and expertise
- Playing an active part in a growing team, where your input actually shapes how things are done, not just following an established playbook
About You
- You will be a qualified solicitor with 1–4 years' PQE in employment law, although applications will be considered from qualified NQs
- Solid grounding in either contentious or non-contentious employment work, ideally some exposure to both
- Keen to build a genuine long-term career within a growing team, not just clock up experience and move on
- Comfortable working in a smaller, close-knit environment where you're visible and accountable, not anonymous
