Paralegal - Employment Rights

Are you passionate about employment law and driven to make a real impact? Thompsons Solicitors — the UK’s most experienced trade union and employment rights law firm — is looking for a dedicated Paralegal to join our Employment Rights team, supporting workers across Northern Ireland.

In this dynamic role, you’ll be at the heart of cases that matter. You’ll work closely with expert solicitors on claims involving unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, wage disputes, holiday pay, redundancy, breach of contract, and discrimination under Northern Ireland’s equality laws. From early client contact and legal research to preparing documentation and tribunal bundles, you’ll contribute directly to achieving justice for working people.

This is hands‑on, meaningful work where you’ll develop real litigation experience — attending tribunals, supporting counsel, preparing cases, drafting statements, and managing your own work under supportive supervision. Every day brings variety, challenge, and the opportunity to learn from leading specialists.

Ideally, you’ll also bring experience of tribunal processes or previous work in a legal environment — but if you’re eager to learn and committed to supporting working people, we want to hear from you.

If you have a law degree or equivalent qualification, thrive in a fast‑paced legal setting, and want a role with purpose, this is your chance to build a career that truly makes a difference.
