Job description

employment

Here at Iceland we’re different. We care. We’re not a dull stuffy corporate. We’re one big team. A diverse group of people who get stuck in and work together. We have a fantastic opportunity for a Employment Solicitor to join our Legal Department within our Head Office in Deeside.

Purpose of Role:

To provide employment law advice to the Iceland business, in particular:

  • Handling Employment Tribunal litigation (we expect this to form a large part of the work).
  • Transactional/project support work.
  • Drafting contracts and policies.
  • Ad hoc advisory work on the full range of employment matters.

The candidate will report to, and work alongside, a Senior Employment Solicitor.

This is a fast-paced and varied role, in an entrepreneurial company, with international reach, so candidates will require confidence, the ability to think on their feet, and strong communication skills.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a junior to mid-level solicitor to work in a supportive team which values training very highly, with the variety and quality of work that you would expect in a large firm. Applications are welcome from candidates currently working in-house or those in private practice with a genuine desire to move in-house.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

  • Acting as a trusted adviser to the business on employment law matters.
  • Ability to handle his/her own case load and good time management skills.
  • Ability to work as a team player in a strong team environment.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

  • Strong commercial awareness.
  • The ability to think strategically.
  • Excellent attention to detail.
  • The ability to prioritise multiple tasks and complete work to tight deadlines, when required.
  • The ability to build a rapport/communicate well with other departments within the business, and other affiliates of the business.
  • Strong computer skills and experience in using MS Office tools (in particular Word and Outlook).

QUALIFICATIONS / KNOWLEDGE / EXPERIENCE

Experience in employment law (particularly in managing a caseload of Employment Tribunal matters) is essential. We would expect the candidate to have worked predominantly in employment law, mainly on the respondent side.

Candidates must be qualified solicitors with at least 4 years’ PQE in a law firm or in-house department. Ideally, we are looking for candidates with 4-8 years’ PQE. Please note our advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the minimum level of experience required. However, we are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfil this kind of work.

Make a difference to your career, we expect a lot but you’ll get a lot back in return. We will help you grow and develop your career and give you the freedom to show that you really care.

Alongside this we can offer you:

  • A very competitive salary with an excellent benefits package
  • 25 days holiday, plus 8 days bank holiday
  • 15% store discount, 30% club individual restaurant discount
  • Parking
  • Highly subsidised restaurant onsite with our own Michelin Star Chef!
  • Subsidised Costa onsite
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Charity fundraising events
  • Educational sponsorship
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity leave
  • Long service awards
  • Reward & recognition
  • Online discounts at over 150 retailers and cashback on shopping, holidays, insurance and more!

Be Proud. Be brave. Be everything that makes us different. Be Iceland.
