transport links and rich mineral deposits for the benefit of all its residents.

comprises a mix of professional and support staff with both private and public
sector backgrounds.

fast paced nature of the work required to be done will be challenging. The
rewards though will be unparalleled experience and the prospects of becoming
an expert legal professional in areas of law that are unlikely to see a lessening
of demand Brexit or no Brexit. You will be joining a supportive and collegiate
team and a Legal Services section highly regarded internally and externally.
County Hall is a modern building with good transport links. All legal
professional staff have access to Lawtell, Westlaw and PLC and use a case
management and time recording system. Unlike our private sector colleagues
Legal Services do not have fee earning target pressures. As well as a
competitive salary the post attracts Local Government pension benefits.
Free on-site parking is also available.


Leicester and its surrounding towns and villages offer a wide choice of housing
and excellent local schools.
Informal enquiries can be made to Anthony Cross, Head of Law –
