A newly created Senior Employment Lawyer position has opened up at the London Borough of Redbridge, offering an experienced employment lawyer the opportunity to take on a broad senior role within a changing and developing legal service.
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone looking for greater autonomy, a broader remit and the chance to help shape a role from the outset.
The role
Reporting to the Principal Lawyer, you’ll act as a senior specialist across the council’s employment law work, advising HR and departmental managers and handling a varied caseload covering both contentious and non-contentious matters. Your work will include:
- Employment Tribunal litigation and complex employment disputes
- Advisory work on contracts, HR policies and organisational change
- Advice on pay and employment-related matters
- LGPS pensions
- Advocacy on interim applications and shorter hearings
- Supporting junior lawyers and trainees through training and knowledge sharing
You’ll also manage an Employment Lawyer, giving you the opportunity to develop your people-management experience alongside your legal practice.
Why Redbridge?
- A brand-new role created following a recent restructure
- An opportunity to help shape the role and contribute to the development of the service
- A new Chief Executive and wider programme of organisational change
- Flexible hybrid working
- A broad and varied employment law caseload
- The opportunity to develop management and leadership experience
What are they looking for?
You’ll need to be a qualified Solicitor or Barrister with solid experience across both contentious and non-contentious employment law, including the ability to manage complex or higher-risk matters. Public sector experience would be useful, but isn’t essential.
This is a permanent, full-time role working 36 hours per week, with a salary of £63,690 – £66,078. If you’re an experienced employment lawyer looking for a role with more autonomy, responsibility and scope to shape your own work, this could be worth exploring.
