About the role

At West Northants Council, we’re delivering ambitious change and investing in our communities, infrastructure and services. As a Senior Lawyer (Contracts), you’ll play a key role in helping to turn those ambitions into reality by providing expert legal advice on a wide range of commercial, procurement and contractual matters. Working at the heart of a large and evolving organisation, you'll support major projects and strategic initiatives that have a direct impact on residents, businesses and communities across West Northamptonshire.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of England’s newest and largest unitary councils and be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking legal team. Whether you're currently working in local government or looking to bring your expertise from private practice, you'll have the opportunity to work on varied, high-profile and complex matters while helping to shape a modern and commercially focused legal service.

What will you be doing?

You’ll manage a diverse caseload of contract and procurement matters, working closely with the Council’s procurement team and a wide range of client departments to support the delivery of goods, services and major projects. Your work will include drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts, framework agreements, call-off contracts, concession agreements and grant funding arrangements, while providing practical and commercially focused legal advice that supports the Council’s objectives.

You’ll advise on a broad range of contractual issues, including subsidy control, public health-related contracts and procurement matters, ensuring legal risks are identified and managed effectively. You’ll also contribute to the development of policies, procedures and best practice, helping to strengthen the Council’s commercial and governance arrangements.

As a senior member of the team, you'll support colleagues through mentoring, training and knowledge sharing, including providing guidance to Paralegals and Legal Assistants where required. You'll also contribute to major projects across the organisation, working with stakeholders at all levels and helping to deliver a responsive, customer-focused legal service.

It’s an exciting time to join our legal team as we continue to develop and strengthen our services. To find out more about working in our Legal teams, please visit: https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/jobs-and-careers/working-our-legal-teams

About you

You’re a qualified Solicitor or legal professional with strong experience in contract, procurement or commercial law. You’re confident managing a varied caseload and providing clear, practical advice that enables clients to make informed decisions and deliver successful outcomes.

You bring excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills, together with the ability to build trusted relationships across a wide range of stakeholders. You enjoy working collaboratively, balancing competing priorities and finding solutions to complex legal challenges. Experience of public sector procurement and contract law would be advantageous, but we also welcome applications from candidates with relevant commercial experience gained in other sectors.

West Northants is a great place to build your career. With a strong focus on development, wellbeing, flexibility and support, we offer mentoring, coaching, training and opportunities to broaden your experience across a diverse range of legal work. Above all, you’ll share our THRIVE values and our commitment to delivering high-quality legal services that make a real difference to the organisation and the communities we serve.
