We're recruiting an Employment Solicitor or Barrister
Contract length: permanent or part-time
Hours: full-time 37.5h/week
Location: London hybrid (with possibility of remote only for an exceptional candidate)
The Work Rights Centre is looking for a motivated solicitor or barrister to contribute to our growing employment rights programme by providing expert legal advice and casework, and supporting the wider development of the charity and our strategic goals.
This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate with a strong sense of justice, who values impact, teamwork, and the autonomy of working in a diverse and agile team. We can accommodate flexible and remote work, and offer 28 days of annual leave in addition to a winter holiday break.
The role
You’ll provide excellent employment legal advice, and support the Head of Employment in supervising our two senior legal advisers. You’ll also use your expertise to create accessible public-facing legal information, deliver training to other advisers, and collaborate with colleagues in the policy team. This is a real opportunity to support vulnerable workers' individual and group claims, while contributing to systemic change.

* Two years of practising experience in the UK, with some experience in employment law
* Experience of working in a legal team
* Excellent analytical skills with ability to conduct legal research
* Excellent client management skills, including courtesy, professionalism, an ability to set realistic expectations and keep the client informed of case progress
