Solicitor
£38,381 – £45,150 per annum • 36 hours per week • Epsom

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council are looking for a qualified solicitor to provide support to the Principal Solicitor by providing legal services to the Council. You will provide support in a variety of specialities, including conveyancing, employment law, litigation, advocacy licensing, planning, contracts and agreements.

You will be responsible for providing legal advice to councillors and officers on all matters relating to local government, taking instructions from clients, preparing court papers for prosecution/defending in Magistrates Court/civil proceedings in County Court and High Court, undertaking advocacy, attending committee meetings and panels, instructing barristers to represent the Council, preparing contracts, as well as dealing with FOI, EIR and DPA requests.

This is a great opportunity for a professional individual with proven post qualification experience who wishes to be part of a busy and committed team. You must have a solid track record of managing a demanding and varied workload and be able to demonstrate excellent written and communications skills. Able to work successfully to tight deadlines and with minimum supervision, you must also be able to exhibit proven
negotiation skills, have a flexible approach to work, and cope with the work demands in a methodical and a calm manner. Local government experience would be an advantage but is not essential to the requirements of this post. If you have enthusiasm and determination to deliver a first class service then we would like to hear from you.

In return you will benefit from 23 days annual leave, subsidised gym membership and car parking, entitlement to join the local government pension scheme, and non-contributory life assurance.
