Why Hill Dickinson is the place to be for returners
Whether you are looking for your next legal role or you are interested in joining one of our support teams, you can find all our opportunities in one place. At our firm, you will be offered a challenging and engaging workplace to enable you to grow your career. You can find out more information about our vacancies and details of how to apply below.
- Flexible working opportunities: Our philosophy is ‘as long as client needs are met, the working pattern that suits you is the one that works for us’. This means that we’re able to offer a broad range of flexible working opportunities, including hybrid working, ideally suited for those who are looking to return to the law following a career break or maternity/parental leave.
- Support to rebuild your confidence: A mentoring programme, a dedicated ‘buddy’ and adjusted billing targets are just some of the measures we have in place to support your return to the law. All of this is in addition to technical training to help you in your role, a dedicated management development course for those in leadership positions and an array of skills-based sessions to aid your professional growth.
- Career progression, no matter your circumstances: At Hill Dickinson, it is possible to have a successful career and have a busy personal life, too. That’s why you won’t need to work full-time to reach senior positions or to be considered for a promotion.
- Quality client work: You’ll be exposed to top-quality work that rivals the work within larger organisations, but you’ll be doing it in a nurturing and supportive culture where there is less focus on billing than in magic circle firms.
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: To implement a diverse and inclusive culture in our firm we have developed a diversity framework, which covers six pillars, to help us breakdown any perceived barriers to recruitment, progression and retention, and offer equal opportunities to all.
- An excellent benefits package : We offer an extensive range of benefits designed to help meet your personal needs and promote a healthy work-life balance, eg medical insurance for you and your family, holiday buy and sell and Christmas shutdown. Find out more here.
