Our sectors include: health; real estate and construction; education; energy and infrastructure; financial services; government; insurance; manufacturing and industrials; and retail, consumer and logistics.

    We nurture talent at all levels and from every background and celebrate what makes people individuals. Law needs all voices to reflect the society it serves and we're working towards social mobility, diversity and inclusion in our firm - and our profession. We strive to create meaningful personal and professional development opportunities and offer flexible working in support of a good work-life balance. We focus on wellbeing and individuality, so that all our people can thrive.

    What does the role actually involve:

  • To provide solution focused, pragmatic employment advice to clients in the education sector including:

  • Advising on TUPE, including on academy transfers and projects as well as general transfer queries
  • General advice, e.g., conduct of disciplinary investigations; grievance procedures; redundancy programmes; holiday pay (including issues around term time only employees); general queries about flexible working, maternity rights, paternity rights etc.
  • Maximise new business opportunities for the firm seeing them through to successful completion
  • Undertake public speaking at conferences and other events, demonstrating credibility
  • Write blog posts and advisory articles on an ad-hoc basis for both Browne Jacobson materials as well as sector publications and websites
  • Deliver exceptional client service at all times, keeping the client at the centre of all that we do
  • Keep abreast of sector developments and changes in order to ensure that advice is compliant, and sector focused
  • Delegate to and supervise more junior members of the team, as required
  • Contribute towards the marketing efforts and other non-fee-earning projects of the department, including assisting in the preparation of and /or speaking at seminars, drafting training programmes, keeping precedents up-to date and contributing to Employment Bulletins
  • Undertake a proactive approach in terms of business development, maximising the potential for new opportunities, both externally and through internal cross selling opportunities

  • The ability to provide and communicate practical, commercial advice in a straightforward common-sense manner, establishing and maintaining good professional relationships with both clients and colleagues
  • A willingness to attend marketing and social events organised by the firm or its clients or professional organisations
  • The ability to generate and contribute ideas for improving service to clients, marketing and other initiatives.
  • As a role model, an appreciation of appropriate standards of behaviour, upholding Browne Jacobson's core values and ethics, promoting and defending equal opportunities and embracing diversity and inclusion
