Welcome to our Legal Service
We currently have three specialist teams within the service, each led by a Legal Business Partner along with a central support team. The successful candidate will be joining the Commercial and Property team. Our officers may also participate in projects not only in their legal role but as a knowledgeable officer with many life experiences which they can bring to a project.
Already working to an agile working policy and with lessons learned from our response to COVID-19, we have shaped the way we want to work which encourages us to take control of our own work-life balance. There will be times where you'll need to be in one of our offices, but as long as it works for us too, we'd like you to take a flexible approach to your working arrangements.
We are a busy team and work hard but we are rewarded with agile working, a supportive learning working environment with fantastic work colleagues and an interesting and innovative workload. My main objective is to have a service that provides opportunities to officers to enable them to grow and develop from within. We have lawyers who have changed their career specialisms and others who are on career pathways from support officer to lawyer and beyond.
I firmly believe that the legal service is one of the best places to work, develop skills and experience and be part of a team where everyone’s contribution really does make a difference.
