Unique Employment Law Opportunity | Hybrid/Remote | High-Growth Team | Real Career Progression 

If you're an Employment Solicitor interested in a position with variety, support, and real scope for development, within a non-corporate environment - this is for you. 

Having placed 50% of external hires in 2024, QED is assisting with continued growth plans for their Employment team, currently sat at around 40 fee earners.

The position covers the full range of employment issues - from straightforward unfair dismissal and unpaid wage claims to complex whistleblowing and discrimination matters - with around 80% of the work being litigious. The team acts for both employees and employers, also providing valuable non-contentious support including drafting contracts, policies, handbooks, and advising on settlement agreements. This offers exposure not only to varied litigation but also to advisory HR work and advocacy.

The department is proud of its commitment to training and development. They currently support 7-8 apprentice solicitors and offer 4-5 internal training contracts annually, with this level of investment contributing to a strong junior pipeline. 

You'll be joining a team known for its diversity of experience and background, including a number of highly capable paralegals who’ve built strong careers without following traditional qualification routes. There's a genuine sense of collaboration here, and you'll be encouraged to take ownership of your caseload, contribute to team performance, and develop your professional profile within a £3.5m revenue-generating department.

This is a hybrid role (2 days in the office), but the firm is open to fully remote arrangements depending on experience. Full-time is preferred, but part-time applicants (four days or equivalent hours) are welcomed. 

You’ll need solid experience in both contentious and non-contentious employment work, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to client care and case handling. 

The firm offers a competitive salary and generous benefits package, including 26 days’ holiday + BH (with the option to buy more), enhanced pension, income protection, group legal protection, health cash plan, and a well-supported culture of flexibility, inclusion, and work-life balance.

To apply, send your CV to mohamed.hamza@qedlegal.com or call 07300 236070 for a confidential chat about this role or similar opportunities in the South West.
