Do you want to join our renowned Employment team, at our Birmingham office? If so, this may be the role for you…


The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic employment law solicitor to join the Employment, Pensions and Immigration National Service line (NSL), based in our Birmingham office.

You will be self-starting, possessing common sense and initiative, and the ability to work as a team-player working on complex matters. You will also have very good time and documentation management skills and have keen attention to detail. You will be able to build very good relationships with clients and have excellent interpersonal and team skills, including the ability to work with others, influence and persuade.

Some previous experience of providing employment law support to health and care clients is desirable.


The team

You will work with Jog Hundle, Employment Partner as well as other members of our Birmingham employment team. You will be part of the cross-office Employment, Pensions and Immigration NSL which is headed up by partner, David Mills. As part of that cross-office team, you may also be required to assist colleagues in other offices.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.


The benefits

As you’d expect, we offer a competitive salary and a wide range of benefits.


Pre employment screening

This screening will include, but is not limited to, a basic DBS, verification of your right to work, a three year employment history and a self-declaration to assess your character and suitability for the role. Full details of our pre-screening employment process are available upon request.

We build personal relationships, with advice individually tailored to individual need. And if clients need things we don’t offer, we draw on our network to give recommendations. Our 1,250 plus people and over 750 lawyers share one vision – achieving more for clients.

By joining Mills & Reeve, you’ll have the chance to build your skills and experience within a firm that’s not only ranked in the top 50 UK law firms, but also one that truly values their people.
