An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Employment Solicitor to join a regionally renowned law firm in Sheffield city centre as their new Head of Employment.

This is a great opportunity to take a role at a well-established practice based in Sheffield inside a large and well-structured team. You will have the opportunity to develop your own skills as well as helping to develop the team with your own knowledge and skill-base. The team are steadily growing and have consistently had a high retention rate of their solicitors.

This role gives you the opportunity to work in a firm which produces high quality work for established clients covering both contentious and non-contentious practice.
