About Croydon

Croydon hasn’t seen expansion like we are currently experiencing since the 1960s. We’re already well underway with some £5bn of investment that will be completed over the next few years. New offices, new retail, and new homes will provide well-paid jobs and high-quality accommodation for our rapidly growing population.

Croydon is a naturally ambitious council – so we’re looking for inspirational leaders who share our passion for supporting business growth and responding to local needs.

Strong partnerships are the foundation for the future. That’s why we’re constantly looking forward.

We need to find creative new ways of working together with other agencies and the private sector to deal with the financial challenges ahead.

Because with growth comes increased demand – but also huge opportunity.

Chances like this only come along once in a generation, and our task, and maybe yours, is to shape a positive future for Croydon’s residents and businesses alike.

We are seeking a talented and highly skilled practice/business manager to join our dynamic and highly regarded legal division, committed to excellent standards of service delivery to the Council, covering a range of interesting, complex and diverse legal areas.

This is an exciting new role and opportunity to make your mark as we redesign the division to in- source work currently externalised and select a single strategic legal partner.

The role will include:

  • managing and co-ordinating a busy legal division and stakeholders requirements
  • managing a small support team
  • contract managing external legal providers
  • creating and delivering legal demand management systems
  • ensuring compliance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority rules
  • must have pervious project management experience in a legal environment.
