  • Are you a newly qualified solicitor looking for a new challenge?
  • Are you interested in developing in a new direction or specialism?
  • Are you looking to join an organisation that makes a difference?
We're looking for two Assistant Lawyer/Lawyers to advise on education and employment matters. Whilst the posts are likely to be involved predominantly in education related work, candidates will also have the opportunity to assist on employment law matters.

We are looking for candidates with experience of providing sound legal advice, the ability to work well under pressure and to manage a busy workload to tight deadlines. You will have the ability to work effectively as part of a busy team of solicitors and legal assistants and be confident in managing a caseload of tribunal proceedings and advice matters.

It is accepted that candidates may not have exposure or experience in these matters, and this does not exclude applications as you will have the opportunity to develop your skills in the relevant specialist areas. So, if your skills, knowledge or experience looks a little different from what we have identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you.

We're looking for team players to help support and develop client officers and be ready and willing to enhance their own career development. Such career development could be through formal training, project team membership, project work and/or opportunities to work closely with Senior Officers from across the Council.

This is an outstanding opportunity which will provide you the kind of professional challenge, leadership and autonomy you will naturally aspire to as an ambitious leader. You will be welcomed by a supportive, talented and passionate legal leadership team who are at the forefront of delivering fast-paced, challenging and ambitious plans for the borough.

The successful candidates will be an admitted Solicitor, CILEX or Barrister of England and Wales with a current practising certificate.

This Post is Politically Restricted.

We've embraced new ways of working and hybrid working between home and our brand-new office will be a feature of this role, working at the office 2-3 days per week, when necessary. Our technology platform and equipment allow you to connect and collaborate remotely which requires that you have in place good connectivity. This can be discussed more during the recruitment process.

You will find more details about the role in the job description and what we're looking for from you in the person specification. In return, we believe in ensuring staff are well looked after, staff well-being is a priority for us and regularly promoted, as are professional support and continuous professional development. You will have the chance to be mentored by skilled Local Government Legal professionals in order to support your continued development in the role and your career.

For an informal discussion regarding the role, please contact Paul Martin on
