A keen eye for detail and commitment to accuracy.
Experience of preparing legal documents and managing case files.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective working relationships.
Good IT skills and experience of using case management systems and Microsoft Office applications.
A commitment to providing excellent client care and customer service.

Desirable Experience

Experience of local government legal practice.
Experience of civil litigation experience, housing litigation, litigating prosecution matters, disrepair claims, debt recovery, service charges or anti-social behaviour.
Legal qualifications such as CILEX studies, a law degree, LPC/SQE preparation, or equivalent legal experience.

Why Join Us?

A diverse and challenging caseload.

Opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Supportive and collaborative team environment.

Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.

Generous local government pension scheme.

Annual leave entitlement and employee wellbeing support.
