Background
Our client, a senior manager with over 15 years of service in the NHS, approached us after experiencing sustained workplace stress and a breakdown in trust with her employer. Repeated changes to her duties, a lack of support during a long-term medical absence, and internal grievance failures led her to resign. She suspected her situation amounted to constructive dismissal but was unsure how to proceed.
Our Involvement
After a free initial consultation, we quickly assessed her position and confirmed she had strong legal grounds to claim constructive unfair dismissal and potential disability discrimination. We entered negotiations with the NHS Trust’s legal team and within weeks secured a £78,000 tax-free settlement agreement, avoiding the stress and uncertainty of tribunal litigation.
We ensured:
- The client received independent legal advice (ILA) within 24 hours.
- All terms were negotiated in her best interests, including a positive reference.
- The agreement was fully compliant with ACAS guidance and HMRC rules.
Outcome
Our client was able to exit with dignity, financial security, and peace of mind—empowered to move forward with her career and health without prolonged conflict.
