NQ Employment Solicitor | Northampton
Harkaye Core Talent is partnering with a highly regarded regional law firm in Northampton to appoint a Newly Qualified Employment Solicitor into its growing Employment team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious NQ who is serious about building a long-term career in employment law within a firm that genuinely invests in its people.
The Opportunity
You will join a well-established and supportive team, working closely with experienced employment partners and senior lawyers on a broad range of matters. The role offers exposure to both contentious and non-contentious employment work, giving you the foundation to develop into a well-rounded employment specialist.
From day one, you will be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build client relationships, and develop your commercial understanding, all within a structured and supportive environment.
The Work
* Advising employers on day-to-day HR and employment issues
* Supporting on Employment Tribunal matters
* Drafting contracts, policies, and settlement agreements
* Assisting on complex and high-value disputes
* Working directly with clients across a range of sectors
* Contributing to business development initiatives
About You
* Newly Qualified Solicitor (or due to qualify shortly)
* You will have completed a seat in Employment Law, or have gained strong employment law experience as a Paralegal
* You demonstrate a clear and genuine commitment to building a career in employment law
* Commercially aware, with strong attention to detail
* Confident communicator with the ability to build relationships early in your career
* Motivated, proactive, and keen to take ownership of your development
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not just another NQ role. It offers:
* Early responsibility with appropriate support
* Exposure to high-quality work and reputable clients
* A genuinely collaborative and approachable team culture
* Clear progression pathways as the team continues to grow
* The chance to specialise early and build a strong foundation in employment law
Next Steps
If you are approaching qualification or have recently qualified, and you are looking for a role where you can develop quickly and meaningfully within employment law, this is well worth exploring.
