Excellent analytical, drafting and advocacy skills, including the ability to produce high‑quality legal, transactional and formal documentation and to represent matters clearly and confidently.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly and succinctly to a wide range of internal and external audiences.
Proven ability to manage a varied and demanding workload, work effectively under pressure, meet deadlines, and deliver work in line with agreed objectives and standards.
Experience of supporting or supervising colleagues, including organising work, monitoring progress and quality, and maintaining agreed service standards.
Strong risk awareness and judgement, with the ability to identify, assess and manage legal risk, communicate implications effectively and recognise when risk may be justifiable.
A flexible and resilient approach to work, responding positively to change and taking responsibility for implementing new ways of working.

Desirable

Knowledge of a specialist area of law relevant to the Council’s functions.
Experience of working in local government or the wider public sector.
Experience of delivering training or contributing to service improvement initiatives.
