    Description

    Employment Law Manager

    Full time, 12 Month Fixed Term Contract

    Location – Flexible – hybrid 2 days a week in local office

    Closing date: 16 February 

    Who we are:

    We're not just talking about making a difference, we're making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.

    You'll be joining our teams of practical doers, future thinkers and business champions. We're enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.

    About the role:

     

    We're looking for an experienced Employment Law Manager to join our team on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. In this role you'll provide expert employment law advice to senior managers and HR professionals across the organisation, covering issues such as TUPE, discrimination, grievances, disciplinaries, contractual disputes and tribunal cases.

    You'll work closely with HR Advisors and Business Partners, supporting case management and leading on the most complex matters, with occasional advice required on right to work and immigration.

    Ultimately, you'll ensure timely, high-quality legal guidance that supports our business strategy while maintaining full compliance with employment law and regulations.

    Who we're looking for:

      

    You'll be a fully qualified solicitor with a few years' specialist experience in employment law, ideally gained in both practice and in‑house roles. This is a chance to take ownership of complex and varied employment matters across Drax, from contract reviews and case advisory work to tribunal preparation and stakeholder guidance. Knowledge or an interest in North America employment law is also beneficial.

    You'll thrive if you bring a commercial, pragmatic mindset, enjoy working in a multi‑disciplinary environment, and have the confidence to influence, coach and challenge senior leaders. In return, you'll gain exposure to diverse business units, play a key role in shaping how we manage employment law, and make a visible impact by driving the right behaviours and delivering change. It's a bonus for us if you have experience advising or working in a unionised workforce.

    Rewards and benefits:

     

    As you help us to shape the future, we've shaped our rewards and benefits to help you thrive and support

    your lifestyle. If successful in this role, you'll get:

    ·       A discretionary bonus depending on company performance

    ·       Private Healthcare 

    ·       SAYE (Sharesave): discretionary scheme from time to time

    ·       Personal accident cover

    ·       Group personal pension plan where we'll pay up to 10%

    ·       Holiday 25 days plus bank holidays

    ·       Reimbursement of the cost of your annual membership of one relevant and appropriate professional body

    We're committed to making a tangible impact on the climate challenge we all face. Drax is where your individual purpose can work alongside your career drive. We work as part of a team that shares a passion for doing what's right for the future. With Drax you can shape your career and a future for generations to come.

    Together, we make it happen.

     

    At Drax, we're committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their role. To make this a reality, we actively work to better represent the communities we operate in, foster inclusion, and establish fair processes.
