Solicitors/Senior solicitor (Commercial Law Team)

3 posts: 2 contracts and 1 planning and highways.

Permanent (full time 35 hours per week or part time)
County Hall, Worcester

£29,675 - £39,422 (solicitor full time, pro rata for part time)
£41,989 - £45,282 (senior solicitor full time, pro rata for part time)

We are a friendly and supportive legal team providing a high quality service to Worcestershire County Council.  We need to recruit staff in our Commercial Law Team. There are three positions. 

The planning and highways role would involve both contentious and non-contentious work and the current complement is three days a week.  The contracts roles have a current complement of one full time and one two day a week role.  

Recruiting for all these vacancies at the same time gives us an opportunity to be flexible in how the positions are filled.  As such we would consider full or part time candidates.

There are opportunities to specialise in contracts law, or in planning and highways law.  There is also the potential for a more varied role covering these disciplines. 

One of the positions would be as a Senior Solicitor, helping to manage a small team of legal support staff.  Again, we are flexible as to whether the Contracts Solicitor or Planning and Highways Solicitor takes on the management role.   We would also consider full or part time candidates.

Experience of the roles (including management) would be an advantage but we would consider people new to these areas of work.

For informal enquiries, please contact Tom Pollock (Principal Solicitor) on 01905 846687.

Please indicate on your personal statement which post you would like to apply for.

Closing date 18 November 2019.
Interview Date: anticipated 2 December 2019
