The Role
Essex County Council (ECC) is one of the largest and most dynamic local authorities in the UK, serving a population of 2 million residents, and has a very successful track record of delivering transformational change. ECC anticipated change was needed in the public sector and has worked to deliver better quality at lower cost.

We are committed to becoming a place where individuals, partners and communities feel proud to play their role and genuinely want to belong. We're immensely proud of our flexible working options.
As ECC's in-house legal service, we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive legal service to the Council - most of our work is done in-house. We value the people who work for us and provide a supportive working environment, where people work hard to do their best for Essex.
As a Paralegal, you will provide and support the provision of a professional legal service that is valued by our clients and improves their business.

- Working closely with colleagues to assist with the delivery of all aspects of routine legal work, including drafting and preparing legal documents for functions across the Council and external customers.
- Responsible for interpreting the legal and business impact of changes in law and assessing these on the operations of Essex Legal Services, our partners, stakeholders and client base.

- Evidence of continuing professional development and expert knowledge in relevant professional area.
- Experience of working within a fast-paced legal setting in a public service or private sector environment. Providing routine legal advice is desirable although not essential.
- Proven track record of delivering excellent customer service.
- Works collaboratively with colleagues and the client base, to understand customer needs with a strong focus on delivering positive outcomes.
- Ability to develop working relationships across a large, complex organisation and with internal and external partners/stakeholders and clients to maintain and develop business streams.
