Job Description & Person Specification >

Torbay is breath taking, captivating, and welcoming, occupying a prime position on the south coast of Devon. Currently experiencing unprecedented levels of investment and the Council’s own ambitious transformation programme have given Torbay the opportunity to capitalise on the area’s profile and many assets.

As a small unitary authority, you’ll discover Torbay is a place where you can make things happen quickly. We have real momentum building, fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and ambition - which is evident by our success in being awarded the ‘Most Improved Council’ at the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2023. We want Torbay and its residents to thrive and are committed to making a difference in our community, delivering high quality services to local people.

To complement this journey, we are now seeking a Senior Lawyer (Contracts / Commercial) to join our Legal Services Team to lead our commercial, procurement and contracts caseload. Providing an opportunity to step into a varied agenda, that straddles both the public and private realm working on behalf of the council, its wholly owned companies and partners, this is a role that would suit a curious and motivated professional looking to diversify their specialism. Ideally you will also have a solid understanding of, or previous exposure to, public sector legal work.

This varied role provides a platform to be actively involved, supporting key agendas pertinent to the success and prosperity of Torbay, its residents, businesses, and wider communities. No two days will be the same, for which those already working within local government will attest to and actively thrive upon. Undertaking the role of Senior Lawyer, alongside your technical ability, you will be an enthusiastic, confident and creative thinking professional that can influence and drive progress, whilst providing clear and credible advice to senior officers and elected members. In return, you will join a supportive and rewarding organisation and team, where your talent will be valued and actively developed. At Torbay Council, we know that our biggest strength comes from our people, and we are excited for you to join us.

We also understand the importance of an effective work-life balance, therefore offer an enviable hybrid working approach. This is managed effectively around the need to attend essential meetings and/or make court appearances in line with the remit of the role. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work for an employer that is in a great period of change and sees legal services as not simply a support function, but an enabler in the pursuit of the highest standards and outcomes for its residents.

We would welcome applications from suitably qualified and experienced candidates.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Skills

Essential:

Highly effective communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal to varied audiences.
Ability to provide clear and accurate complex legal advice in accordance with corporate policies and prevailing legislation in a local government setting.
Analytical and problem-solving skills, to interpret information and determine informed and appropriate solutions.

As this post meets the requirements of the Immigration Act 2016 (part 7), the ability to converse at ease with members of the public and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.

Knowledge

Essential:

A high level of knowledge of the law and procedure within the specialist discipline.

Experience & Qualifications

Essential:

Admitted and practicing Solicitor, Barrister or Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives (or equivalent), with at least 3 years post qualification experience.
