As a key member of our legal team, you'll provide expert advice on a wide range of commercial property matters. You'll support the Council's ambitious target of securing 118.3 million in capital receipts over the next four years, working closely with service departments and senior officers on complex and rewarding projects.

Who We're Looking For


We welcome applications from qualified solicitors or barristers with non-contentious experience in property law.
