Job Details

Employment Solicitor
Durham

We are recruiting for an experienced employment solicitor for an award winning, Legal 500 recognised firm in Durham.  Salary will be dependent upon experience and will be competitive.

The role will be for an initial fixed term of 12 months to cover a maternity leave but there is potential for this role to become permanent.  The successful candidate will have previous employment law experience and will be able to hit the ground running with a small existing caseload of their own, although the role will largely involve assisting on senior members of the team's caseloads.  This role is best suited to a 0-3 years PQE Solicitor. 

In return the firm are offering a competitive salary and an enviable benefits package.  In addition the firm are open to offering flexible working including work from home options.

As this is to cover a maternity leave it is essential that you are available at short notice (maximum 4 weeks)

For further information or to make an application please contact Claire Black at QED Legal on 07947392752 or claire.black@qedlegal.com.

In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
