Hull is a proud, ambitious, resilient, and strongly self-reliant city that always punches above its weight.

Our new role of Assistant Director Legal Services and Governance will lead a wide range of service areas, responsible for ensuring that the Council has available to it the legal and governance support necessary to meet the changing needs and demands of the city, enabling the Council to facilitate delivery of the best outcomes for our communities, through working in partnership.

As Assistant Director, you will lead a service of over 100 staff. Your role will require you to be a trusted advisor on high profile, cross-cutting issues. To succeed, you will be an outstanding lawyer with an excellent record of leadership. You will be confident leading, motivating and inspiring a team that delivers legal and governance services, often under scrutiny and with demanding timelines. You will fulfil the role of the Council’s Monitoring Officer and will need to be an excellent communicator with a high level of personal credibility based on good judgement and integrity, while exhibiting a collaborative style.

To be successful you will need to be someone who sees legal and governance services as an enabler, managing risk but with the understanding of how to enable the Council to get things done.

You will work alongside the Heads of Legal Services and Governance, to provide high quality advice personally, develop internal capacity, and ensure the delivery of effective advice and guidance to colleagues, partners and political leaders.
