An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Employment Solicitor to join the established London employment team of a highly regarded, nationally recognised practice. \n The team advises on a broad range of sophisticated contentious and non-contentious employment matters, offering Associates the opportunity to develop a genuinely rounded practice. The successful candidate will work closely with experienced Partners and Senior Lawyers, with good levels of responsibility and client contact from an early stage. \n The practice covers the full spectrum of employment law, including strategic and day-to-day advisory matters, senior hires and exits, restructurings and reorganisations, contractual issues, business transfers and restrictive covenants. The team also handles a varied caseload of employment disputes and litigation, alongside employment support on corporate transactions. \n The breadth of the practice is an important feature of the opportunity. Rather than specialising too narrowly at an early stage, Associates are encouraged to gain meaningful experience across advisory, contentious and transactional employment work, allowing them to develop both their technical expertise and broader commercial judgement. \n The matters are frequently complex and commercially sensitive, requiring Lawyers to understand the wider business considerations surrounding the legal issues. Associates have the opportunity to work directly with clients and alongside colleagues in complementary practice areas, providing a strong foundation for developing both technical capability and confidence as an adviser. \n The team itself is collaborative and Partner-led, with a strong emphasis on developing Associates through direct involvement in matters rather than a heavily layered structure. Junior Lawyers receive appropriate support and supervision while being encouraged to take greater ownership of matters and client relationships as their experience develops. \n The firm is particularly interested in speaking with Employment Solicitors at approximately 1-3 years' PQE, although there is flexibility to consider candidates outside that range where their experience is relevant. \n Candidates are likely to have gained a solid grounding in employment law with a recognised City, West End, national or strong regional practice and able to demonstrate a stable career background. Experience across both contentious and non-contentious matters would be advantageous, although the emphasis is on strong technical foundations, sound judgement, good drafting skills and a genuine interest in developing a broad employment practice. \n The firm offers a well-established London platform, high-quality work and a supportive environment in which Associates can develop over the longer term. For a Lawyer in the earlier stages of their career who is looking for greater breadth, strong Partner exposure and a clear opportunity to progress, this represents a particularly attractive move in the current market. \n The firm operates a hybrid working model, with Lawyers expected to spend a minimum of three days per week in the London office. \n For a confidential discussion about the role and the firm, please get in touch with James Wheelhouse, Associate Director. Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.\n \n Our consultants will review your application and assess your suitability. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application. Jameson Legal acts as an employment business for temporary recruitment and as an employment agency for fixed term contract and permanent recruitment.\n \n \n

Business Analyst \n Business Operations, Process & Transformation \n London |Full-time, permanent | Clinic and office based |Reporting to the Operations Director \n \n About Virtue Vets \n At Virtue Vets, we're reimagining what a visit to the vet should feel like. We're building a different kind of veterinary group across London, where exceptional clinical care is matched by genuine hospitality, beautiful spaces and a better experience for pets and the people who love them. \n We're growing quickly, with ambitious plans to open 50 clinics across the UK and expand internationally — so there's a real opportunity to join at an exciting stage and shape the future of modern veterinary care. \n \n The Role \n This is an internal consulting role at the centre of a scaling business. You will do inside Virtue Vets what you previously did for clients at a top-tier firm: frame the problem, get to the insight fast, design the solution, and then stay to implement it properly. \n \n Our estate is equipment-heavy, consumables-heavy, process-heavy and people-heavy, and clinical excellence and hospitality both depend on operations that run like clockwork. You will own how the business actually works day to day: the processes, the workflows, the standards, the systems that support them, and the data that tells us whether any of it is working. This is not a role run from a desk or a deck — you will spend real time in our clinics, and you will be measured on adoption and results rather than recommendations. \n \n Who We're Looking For \n You bring a winning mentality and an entrepreneurial instinct, both of which matter in a business that is still scaling. Challenges do not faze you, least of all the ones you have never met before. \n You trained at a top-tier management or operations consulting firm — McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Alvarez & Marsal, AlixPartners or equivalent — and you can still do the work yourself: structure an ambiguous problem, build the analysis, generate the insight and make the recommendation land. You have since proven yourself in a senior operational leadership role - within a premium, client-facing, multi-site environment such as healthcare-adjacent services, wellness, fitness or technology-enabled services with a physical estate. \n \n You hit the ground running and earn your team's respect just as quickly. You are exceptional at developing and implementing efficient, error-free and pragmatic business processes, and your project management is first-rate. You are a consummate problem solver who holds on to the details that matter while applying an 80/20 lens to chronic issues. You design workflows that technology can then automate. \n \n You have embedded operating models, standards and playbooks across multiple sites, driving adoption through leadership, coaching and accountability rather than documentation alone. You have led site-level leaders, built capability and turned standards into consistent day-to-day execution. You own KPIs, budgets and P&L performance, communicate and manage stakeholders exceptionally well, and lead confidently through ambiguity with a bias towards action. \n \n Key Responsibilities \n\n • Problem solving and insight. Take on the business's hardest operational problems, build the analysis yourself, and turn insight into decisions and business cases the leadership team can act on.\n, • Process design. Map processes end to end and develop operating models, playbooks and SOPs that hold up across a growing estateS.\n, • Operational excellence. Simplify complexity, remove rework and reduce cost to serve without compromising care or hospitality, driving consistency across all clinics.\n, • Technology, AI and automation. Identify where technology removes effort, error or delay; lead system and vendor selection; own implementation through to adoption; and specify bespoke tooling where off-the-shelf will not do.\n, • Project and programme management. Run multiple concurrent initiatives from concept to embedded implementation, on time, on budget and on standard, with clear owners and success measures.\n, • Cross-functional partnership. Work with Clinical, Operations, Finance, Marketing, Property, IT and People teams, facilitate workshops, influence at all levels, and launch new clinics on a proven operating model.\n, • Commercial performance. Define, track and improve the operational KPIs that drive clinical quality, client experience and profitability, and hold initiatives accountable to P&L impact.\n\n \n Essential Skills & Experience \n\n • Top-tier consulting background. Several years at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Alvarez & Marsal, AlixPartners or equivalent. This is a firm requirement.\n, • Senior operational leadership. Area Director, Regional Director, District Leader, General Manager or equivalent in a premium, client-facing, multi-site environment.\n, • Scale-up experience. Building processes and operating models from the ground up in a startup, scale-up or rapidly growing business.\n, • Delivery, not just design. A track record of operational transformation and measurable business improvement.\n, • Technology selection and delivery. Choosing, implementing and embedding operational systems and digital tools.\n, • Analysis, insight and project management. Exceptional problem-solving skills and first-rate management of complex, cross-functional workstreams.\n, • Commercial acumen and influence. Ownership of KPIs, budgets and P&L, with the confidence to challenge constructively at senior level.\n, • Location and eligibility. London-based, willing to work across our clinics, with the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.\n\n \n Desirable \n Experience scaling from a handful of sites to a significantly larger estate; a background in veterinary, healthcare, hospitality or luxury retail; Lean, Six Sigma or Operational Excellence qualifications; MBA or equivalent. \n \n Why Join Virtue Vets? \n You will have unusually direct access to the CEO and Senior Management, a genuinely broad remit, and the freedom to make a real impact alongside passionate, talented colleagues. If you have spent your career recommending change and want to own the outcome instead, this role is built for you. \n \n Before You Apply \n\n • You have consulting experience at a top-tier management or operations consulting firm. This is essential.\n, • You already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.\n, • You are based in, or able to reliably commute to, London. This is an office or clinic-based role, with no hybrid or remote working.\n, • You genuinely care about improving the lives of pets and share our ambition to redefine veterinary care.\n\n
