SE-Life

Supportive, nurturing, open and inclusive – we work hard to ensure everyone feels welcomed, valued and empowered to realise their potential.

At SE-Solicitors we’re people first in everything we do. We strive to create a first-class experience for our staff and our clients, which is always personal. We deeply believe in supporting and developing our people to enable them to excel and progress within the SE family. With clear and tailored pathways, training and development and appraisals we ensure everyone has a clear role direction and goals within the firm.

Allowing our people to thrive in their careers is important to us.

With funded training opportunities, we actively encourage career advancement and support employee aspirations. For those taking exams, we ensure they receive not only the day of the exam off, but an additional study day to allow them to focus on their studies.

Providing all employees with access to training platforms such as MBL webinars, we encourage staff to pursue topics that interest them to enhance their broader knowledge and develop niches.

We support our employees with care, empathy and compassion in all aspects of life. Alongside professional growth and development opportunities, we promote the importance of staff’s personal, physical, financial and mental wellbeing.

Our Staff Wellbeing Hub provides information around mental health, diversity and inclusivity. Monthly wellbeing topics, run by our HR Department, inform staff about different aspects of physical and mental health, such as menopause, depression, anxiety and seasonal effective disorder.

Our updated benefits package offers support for any physical and mental difficulties an employee may have. From same day scheduled telephone doctors’ appointments and therapy to subsidised dental appointments and physiotherapy, we provide staff with all round care.

SE-Solicitors’ Social Committee plan several staff events annually varying from bowling and sailing to Garden Parties, encouraging employees to get out and socialise with those they don’t necessarily see every day. Alongside our HR team, they host regular parties and away days for staff across all our departments.

Other events hosted by our HR department include an annual swingball tournament and hula hoop challenge, elf on the shelf at Christmas time and the occasional team scavenger hunt which often promotes healthy competition between the departments!

Understanding the importance of taking time away from your desks, our HR team host lunchtime clubs of Bingo and Choir, with a specialist instructor being brought in for Meditation and Yoga classes, providing activities for people of all abilities and interests to enjoy.

Our sponsorship of local businesses also provides staff with the opportunity of discounts and free tickets to a variety of cultural events such as Compton Verney exhibitions, concerts, plays and equestrian events.
