No two days in Torbay are ever the same

Torbay is breath-taking, captivating, and welcoming, occupying a prime position on the south coast of Devon. Currently experiencing unprecedented levels of investment and the council's own ambitious transformation programme have given Torbay the opportunity to capitalise on the area's profile and many assets.

As a small unitary authority, you'll discover Torbay is a place where you can make things happen quickly. We have real momentum building, fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and ambition - which is clearly evident by our recent success in being awarded the 'Most Improved Council' at last year's LGC Awards. We want Torbay and its residents to thrive and are committed to making a difference in our community, delivering high quality services to local people.

To complement this journey, we are now seeking a Senior Property Lawyer to join our Legal Services Team to support our regeneration caseload. This varied role provides a platform to be actively involved, supporting key agendas pertinent to the investment and prosperity of Torbay, its residents, businesses and wider communities. No two days will be the same, for which those already working within local government will attest to and actively thrive upon.

Undertaking the role of a Senior Lawyer, you will be a suitably qualified professional across either the public or private sector, with at least 3yrs PQE; excited by a fast-paced and varied caseload, conscientious, professionally curious and a role model to other team members. In return, you will join a supportive and rewarding organisation and team, whereby your talent will be valued and actively developed. At Torbay Council, we know that our biggest strength comes from our people, and we are excited for you to join us.

We also understand the importance of an effective work-life balance, therefore offer an enviable hybrid working approach. This is managed effectively around the need to attend essential meetings and/or make court appearances in line with the remit of the role.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work for an employer that is in a great period of change and sees legal services as not simply a support function, but an enabler in the pursuit of their ambitious transformation journey.

In Return We Offer

  • A generous salary.
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service.
  • A Career Average Re-Valued Earnings (CARE) pension scheme through Peninsula Pensions.
  • A great working environment with flexible hours.
  • Family friendly policies.
  • A wide range of lifestyle discounts and health and wellbeing benefits.
  • Learning and development opportunities.
  • A supportive management and team structure.
  • Salary includes a market supplement of £8,000 p/a.
