As a Senior Lawyer within the Chief Executives Legal Directorate, you provide prompt, effective legal guidance and lead a team of legal professionals. Acting as a deputy to the Principal Lawyer, you manage a challenging personal caseload and ensure adherence to procedural and legislative standards. You serve as a legal advisor to council members, contributing to policies, reports, and ombudsman cases. The position requires you to adapt to legislative changes, deliver training, and engage in external performance evaluations. You are entrusted with enhancing Legal Services' image, maintaining client relationships, and upholding equal opportunities and safety standards. Your work may encompass diverse legal areas as needed, showcasing flexibility and a commitment to service excellence. Regular interactions with internal bodies, such as committees and the Chief Executive, as well as external contacts like solicitors and court officials, are crucial in supporting council initiatives. Staff development is a priority, achieved through frequent evaluations that advance the Legal Services team's overarching goals.
