THE ROLE:
You will support business clients across sectors, providing practical, solutions focused advice on a range of employment matters. Your work will include assisting with employment tribunal claims such as unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing and wage disputes. You will also draft employment documentation including contracts, policies, handbooks and settlement agreements.
