Make a Real Impact in Public Service


Are you an experienced solicitor or barrister with a background in commercial property law? Looking for a new challenge? Join our Corporate & Environmental Law team. And play a pivotal role in delivering high-value, high impact legal work for the Council.


This is a part time permanent position which will be hybrid working with some office attendance, as the job requires.


About the Role


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.


This is a part-time, permanent position offering hybrid working arrangements, with flexibility to attend the office as needed.


What You'll Be Doing

Advising on commercial property transactions and legal strategies. Supporting major project land developments and property disposals with some acquisitions. Collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure legal compliance and best practice. Contributing to the Council's strategic goals through sound legal guidance.

Why Join Us?


This is an exciting time to be part of our Council as we prepare for local government reorganisation. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of services--from education and social care to highways and public health--enhancing your legal experience in a dynamic public sector environment.


We believe in fostering a friendly and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated. You will join a friendly and forward-thinking service with access to:

Hybrid working and flexi-working Manageable and varied caseload Generous annual leave and pension scheme Opportunities for mentoring and professional development

Who We're Looking For


We welcome applications from qualified solicitors or barristers with experience in commercial property law. While previous public sector experience is an advantage, it's not essential--we provide full training and support for those new to local government.


If you're passionate about public service, eager to grow your legal career, and ready to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.


Ready to Apply?


If this sounds ideal, submit your application online today to take the first step towards an exciting career with us!
