2 weeks ago


Northallerton, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom North Yorkshire Council Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Paralegal Officer to join our Legal and Democratic Services team supporting our fee earners on a wide range of legal matters on behalf of North Yorkshire Council. We work on a portfolio basis, supporting the whole of the legal team as well as areas of particular specialism.

In this instance, we are recruiting a Paralegal Officer to provide dedicated paralegal support to the fee earners in our Contracts & Procurement team. The successful candidate will also provide paralegal support to the wider Paralegal team as and when required.

Whilst it is preferable for applicants to have some knowledge or experience working in a legal environment, it is not essential to have a legal qualification, as this role is primarily supporting our team of lawyers. The ideal candidate will have experience prioritising and meeting deadlines as well as excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

Legal Services is part of Legal and Democratic Services ('LDS') within the Central Services Directorate of North Yorkshire Council who provide a range of services to the County of North Yorkshire. The role of the Legal Service team is to support the provision by providing a comprehensive and efficient legal service to the Directorates, the Council's Executive, full Council, Committees and Members, and external clients.

You will be based at one of the locality offices of North Yorkshire Council but will also be required to attend County Hall, Northallerton from time to time. There is also scope to work remotely from home some of the time in line with our Corporate Hybrid Working Policy.

If you enjoy working in a busy but rewarding environment, where you will be trained and gain experience to support the whole range of legal work carried out by North Yorkshire Council, we would love to hear from you.

You will benefit from a supportive management system and on-going personal development and performance management.

As an organisation we strongly believe in promoting a work life balance, with flexible working opportunities and modern technology you will be able to deliver your role to suit both your personal and our business needs. In return for your hard work and dedication to our service, we can offer you the chance to be part of a strong and supportive team. You will benefit from a variety of competitive employee rewards such as generous leave entitlement and local government pension scheme.

We also offer exceptional company benefits such as salary sacrifice schemes in technology, professional qualifications, and green car schemes as well as discounted retail offers, health schemes to name but a few.

More information can be found in our Total Rewards Brochure. If you believe you are what we are looking for, we would like to hear from you.
