Early Careers Development Specialist Contract Full Time

If Early Careers is your world and you enjoy the development side just as much as the recruitment piece, this is a really interesting one.

We’re working with a leading international law firm with a large trainee population and a well-established Early Careers team. It’s a busy, high-quality environment where you’ll have real ownership and plenty of exposure to senior stakeholders.

You’ll take responsibility for an allocated trainee cohort, supporting them throughout their training contracts with career conversations, performance and development, seat choices and qualification. You’ll also be involved in secondments, coaching, learning initiatives and wider Early Talent projects.

There’s a lot of stakeholder interaction too. You’ll work closely with Partners, HR Business Partners and the wider Early Careers team, so it’s a role where relationship-building and good judgement really matter.

They’re looking for someone with solid Early Talent, Early Careers or HR experience, ideally gained within legal or professional services. You’ll need to be comfortable managing a busy trainee population and confident having meaningful development conversations with people at different stages of their careers.

If you’ve built good Early Careers experience and want a role with more ownership, development work and stakeholder exposure, this could be a very good next move.
