Job Details

Fantastic and rare opening for an employment law advocate to move In-house with this retail giant which is looking to expand its integral legal team.

Although head quartered in the Midlands, the role can be conducted almost entirely remotely, meaning the residence of the individual is secondary to their technical capabilities and cultural "fit".

Reporting into the GC, you'll be the go-to person when it comes to supporting and advising the HR team (and other relevant stakeholders) on all areas of employment law including; ensuring compliance and consistency across the business in all aspects of employment law including; providing employment law advice in relation to BAU and strategic HR projects and change programmes whilst mitigating risk/disruption to the business, working with the ER team to negotiate on and finalise settlement agreements and support with drafting and reviewing HR Policies and Procedures and working with the external legal partners when needed to ensure the right decisions are made.

Where this person will really add value however, is in their representation where needed at employment tribunals and liaising with the ER team, ensuring there is a continuous feedback loop in place to address root cause issues. Needless to say, advocacy skills are an absolute essential pre-requisite for this role and its likely you will pride yourself on being an expert on the tribunal process. We'd imagine this role suiting a fully qualified with over 4 years' experience.

A comprehensive benefits package including car allowance and bonus on offer.

Company

Sacco Mann are specialist Legal Recruiters recognised as regional experts with a genuine interest in, as well as knowledge of, their marketplace. We are renowned for giving clear and straightforward career advice and true quality of service.

We have thirteen experienced consultants focussing on legal recruitment, encompassing the Commercial, General Practice, Public Sector and In House positions, both permanent and locum. In addition two consultants specialise within the Patents and Trademarks sector.

We feel that much of our success has been due to the fact that we:

- try to accurately guage and understand what both candidates and clients require and indeed that which they are able to offer and then bring the two together
- have a demonstrable knowledge of the marketplace. Fundamentally what you need is not merely someone who can post your CV to a practice, but someone whose strength of contacts within the firms can add value, ensuring that you are given proper consideration
- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
- are accessible and return your calls

Principally because we believe that the points outlined above are fundamental. We enjoy recruitment, and we are good at it, because we genuinely enjoy assisting people make positive career moves.
