A well-established and growing law firm in Tunbridge Wells is looking to appoint a Senior Employment Associate to join its respected Employment team.

This is a key hire for the firm, offering the opportunity to take on a visible role within a busy department handling a broad mix of respondent and claimant work. You’ll work closely with senior colleagues while also having the autonomy to manage your own caseload and build client relationships.

• Managing your own caseload with minimal supervision
• Supporting employers on day-to-day HR and advisory issues
• Handling Employment Tribunal matters from start to finish
• Contributing to business development and client relationship management

What the firm is looking for:

• Qualified Solicitor with solid Employment law experience (typically 5+ PQE, but flexible)
• Confidence managing matters independently
• Strong client-facing skills and commercial awareness
• An interest in developing relationships and contributing to team growth

This is a genuine opportunity to step into a senior role where your input will be recognised. The firm offers a supportive and well-resourced environment, with clear scope for progression as the department continues to grow.
