We are looking for a qualified solicitor, barrister, or chartered legal executive with significant post‑qualification experience in public sector law and administration. This is a role for someone who thrives in complex political environments, builds trust across diverse partnerships, and leads with integrity and purpose. You will be instrumental in shaping the Authority’s governance culture, ensuring decisions are lawful, effective, and aligned with the needs of our communities. If you are ready to take on a leadership role that combines legal expertise, strategic influence, and public service impact, we invite you to apply and help build a trusted, transparent, and high‑performing organization.
