Director & Legal Recruitment Specialist (South)

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced employment lawyer to take on a senior, visible role, working closely with partners and playing a key part in the continued development of the department.

The role offers a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious work, acting primarily for employers across a range of sectors, with some exposure to senior employee matters.

Your work will include:

  • Advising on day-to-day HR and employment issues

  • Managing Employment Tribunal claims

  • Drafting contracts, policies and settlement agreements

  • Supporting on restructures, redundancies and TUPE matters

  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships

You’ll be joining a collaborative and commercially focused team, where knowledge-sharing is encouraged and junior lawyers are supported. There may also be the opportunity to supervise or mentor more junior members of the team.

The firm offers a high-quality client base, meaning the work is varied, interesting and often strategic in nature.

There is clear scope for progression, with the opportunity to move towards a more senior or leadership position over time, depending on your ambitions.

What’s on offer:

  • High-quality employment work with a strong employer client base

  • A supportive, experienced team environment

  • Opportunities for progression and increased responsibility

  • A balanced and professional working culture

If you’re open to a new opportunity, get in touch for a confidential discussion or apply now.

We work with a range of legal roles across Kent and the wider South East, so even if this position isn’t quite right, we’d be happy to talk through other options. Your CV will never be shared without your consent.
