The Role

The Legal Services Division at the University of Cambridge is seeking to recruit a senior and experienced lawyer who will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Division's education, governance, and charity law practice. You will have a broad range of expertise across these fields (which might include expertise relating to regulatory matters, student complaints and discipline, and charitable trusts and donations).

Your work will be meaningful and impactful, driving forward the University's goals and making a tangible difference to the world. Nurturing talent is what we do, and we think you will learn a lot while you are here with us.

About You & The Role

We are looking for someone who:

-is a team player who embraces change; is excited to make impact and share their ideas with a new and growing team; is ambitious and keen to learn new things; and wants to be stretched in order to develop and grow as a lawyer;

-works effectively under pressure, exercising a high degree of autonomy, judgement, and initiative.

-displays meticulous attention to detail and demonstrates an aptitude for rapid learning.

-is eager to be involved in the trial and implementation of new technology to contribute to the vision of building a best-in-class legal function for the University.

We will expect you to have:

-broad expertise advising and training colleagues across the fields of education, governance, and charity law (including, for example, the law relating to discrimination and freedom of speech);

-experience supervising and developing more junior lawyers; and

-the ability to think strategically and play a pivotal role with other senior members of the team to foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical innovation across the Division.

We would prefer to make a full time appointment but are open to considering part-time or compressed working arrangements. Our approach to flexible working values both face-to-face engagement and personal freedom, and reflects contemporary practices. You and your manager will work together to tailor an arrangement that best suits your preferences and our business needs.

For a full role description and details of the available reward and benefits package, refer to the attached Further Particulars document.

Interviews will be held in 12 - 13 August 2024
