The Role
The role will involve working on a range of contentious
and non-contentious matters including general employment advisory
work, the handling of employment tribunal claims, whistleblowing,
high profile cases, advising on reorganisation and redundancy issues
and the application of healthcare legislation to routine employment
law scenarios. The candidate should have good client handling skills
and be able to work well with other team members.
Capsticks is committed to recruiting the best people to
maintain its status as legal adviser of choice and, whilst previous
experience in the field of healthcare or public sector is strongly

to be able to demonstrate at interview that they are self-motivated
and commercially minded, as well as having good interpersonal skills
and being able to work effectively in teams.
This is a great opportunity to join a driven and
dynamic market leading firm.
