I’m using bbPress in conjunction with the Members plugin and have a “Private” forum, that only users of a certain level can access (we call it “Employees”).

It works fine, great, thanks 🙂

However, if a non “Employee” logged in user has the direct link to a post (or clicks on the “Freshness: {time}” in the post list, then they can see the topic directly.

How can I hide this? Ideally I want to do it plugin level, rather than changing the theme.

bbPress does not have any options to do what you are looking for at this stage.

That said there have been a couple of tweaks to how Private/Hidden forums for the upcoming bbPress 2.3 that you can grab bbPress 2.3 RC1 and see if it helps or not 😉
