About Us

Taurus HR & Employment Law is a hybrid HR consultancy & legal services provider combining people expertise with strategic legal awareness. We are a fully remote firm, although we have strong roots in South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and London.

Our team may be small, but we are deeply passionate about the work that we do, and making a positive impact for clients. We care about developing long lasting relationships and we are looking to expand our team with someone who shares our values, and who is eager to deliver an exceptional level of service. We support both employers and employees, offering HR and employment law services that are clear, strategic, and grounded.

We are regulated by the FCA to conduct claims management activities and have earned wide industry recognition for our work, continuing to provide our clients with advice which is pragmatic, practical, and human.

The Role:

We’re looking for a part-time qualified and experienced solicitor or CILEX Fellow with strong employment law experience across both contentious and non-contentious work, who has a genuine desire to help people. You’ll bring sound judgment, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to apply your expertise with care and confidence.

This is a fully remote role with flexible hours, designed to support meaningful work alongside other commitments. You’ll be part of a small, values-led team where your contribution matters.

If that sounds like the kind of work you want to do, we’d love to hear from you.

Some of the things you’ll do:

  • Advise on non-contentious HR and employment law matters including contracts, policies, grievances, disciplinaries, redundancies, and TUPE;
  • Draft and review employment documentation;
  • Draft, support and advise on Settlement Agreements;
  • Assist with or manage a caseload of Employment Tribunal claims;
  • Collaborate with our HR consultants to deliver joined-up, real-world solutions.

What you’ll ideally bring:

  • 0-4+ years’ PQE in employment law;
  • Experience in advising both employers and employees on contentious and non-contentious matters;
  • Confidence working independently, with warmth and clarity in client interactions;
  • Strong written communication skills and a knack for making legal language accessible;
  • A respect for nuance - especially in sensitive or high-stakes cases;
  • A full UK driving licence.

Previous experience in a remote or hybrid role will be a significant advantage, and you must be able to organise and manage your time effectively and work independently (although supervision will be offered).

To apply

Please send your CV and a short note about why this role feels like a good fit. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are committed to inclusive hiring.

Salary: GBP 36000 - 44000 per year Experience: 3 years required
