Job description
Employment Solicitor (NQ–1 PQE | Birmingham, Clear Progression, Support & Early Responsibility, Hybrid

The Firm What if your first role post-qualification actually gave you the responsibility and exposure you’ve been looking for? This growing legal business is known for giving junior lawyers meaningful work from day one, rather than limiting them to the sidelines.

With a strong focus on mentoring and internal progression, you’ll be supported by approachable senior lawyers who are genuinely invested in your development. The culture is collaborative, down-to-earth, and geared towards helping NQs build confidence quickly while developing real technical expertise. If you’re looking for a place where you can accelerate your career rather than just “settle in,” this firm stands out.

The Role Are you ready to build a strong foundation in Employment law within a team that will actively invest in your growth?

This is an opportunity for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join a busy and supportive Employment team, handling a varied caseload while gaining exposure to complex and high-quality matters.

You’ll be advising and supporting clients across a broad spectrum of Employment issues, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, TUPE, and whistleblowing. The role will involve both independent case handling and assisting senior lawyers on more complex matters.

You’ll also:

  • Manage and progress claims within tribunals and courts
  • Work within an insurance-backed litigation environment, including policy considerations
  • Liaise with clients, counsel, courts, and third parties
  • Support wider business objectives through accurate and timely legal advice
  • Supervise and delegate tasks to junior team members where appropriate
Looking for a role where no two days are the same and where your exposure will accelerate your development? This could be it.

You Do you want to be part of a team where your voice is heard from day one?

You’ll be a qualified Solicitor (or equivalent) at NQ level with a genuine interest in Employment law. You should be comfortable managing a varied caseload and confident communicating with clients and colleagues alike.

You will likely have:

  • A solid grounding in Employment law
  • Experience handling or assisting on a varied caseload
  • Strong organisational and communication skills
  • The ability to work both independently and collaboratively
  • Familiarity with IT systems such as case management platforms and digital dictation
Exposure to insurance litigation or claims handling would be advantageous—but not essential.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated, commercially aware, and eager to continue developing your expertise.

Benefits What’s in it for you beyond the day-to-day work?

  • Financial participation in the firm’s equity growth
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Structured training support and Performance Development framework
  • Hybrid and agile working policy (home and office balance)
  • 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Optional holiday purchase scheme
  • Company Sick Pay
  • Pension scheme with 5% employer contribution
  • Death in Service benefit / Life assurance
  • Enhanced Company Maternity and Paternity Pay
  • Discretionary annual bonus based on individual and business performance
Interested? So, are you ready to take the next step in your legal career with a firm that genuinely invests in its people? Or perhaps you’re looking for a role where you can develop quickly while still being supported?

If this sounds like the right move, get in touch with Toby Ryan at QED Legal today for a confidential discussion.
