We are committed to delivering excellent services and ensuring the Council's assets and interests are managed effectively for the benefit of our residents.

We are seeking an experienced Lawyer to join our highly regarded Commercial team in Legal Services on a fixed-term basis.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a varied and challenging caseload across the full breadth of contract, procurement and commercial/major project matters, supporting the delivery of key Council priorities and projects.

Strategic regeneration and development projects
Construction and infrastructure schemes
Technology and transformation initiatives
Partnership and collaboration arrangements
Funding agreements
Contract, procurement and commercial-related advice to Council departments and stakeholders
Other high-profile projects that contribute to the delivery of the Council's corporate priorities

Working as part of a supportive and collaborative legal team, you will manage your own caseload while also assisting senior colleagues on complex, high-profile and strategically important matters.

About You

We are looking for a qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive (or equivalent) with substantial experience in contract, procurement and commercial law.

Experience of providing clear, practical and solution-focused legal advice
Excellent organisational and communication skills
A proactive and collaborative approach to working with clients and colleagues

Experience gained within a local authority legal team would be advantageous, although applications from candidates with relevant private practice or public sector experience are welcomed.

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate will be highly organised, enthusiastic and committed to delivering an excellent legal service. You will be confident working independently, whilst also contributing positively to a supportive team environment.

You will be expected to:

Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients and stakeholders
Identify risks and provide pragmatic solutions
Protect and advance the Council's interests at all times
Provide guidance and support to colleagues where appropriate
Contribute to continuous improvement and innovative ways of working

In addition, you will demonstrate:

Strong problem-solving abilities
Excellent customer service skills
Effective use of technology and legal systems
A passion for learning and professional development
Collaboration and teamwork
Relationship-building and stakeholder management skills

Why Join Us?
