Are you a Lawyer with good contract and commercial law experience? Can you manage your own workload with minimum supervision, working at a fast pace? Are you committed to, and energised by, making a positive and valued contribution to the charity sector? Do you have an interest in working for an innovative charity? If so, this could be the role for you.

About the role

You will work closely with teams across the charity, in particular our innovation, cancer services and technology directorates, advising on a wide range of contracts and legal issues at a senior level. In particular you will focus on innovative commercial partnerships and projects for cancer provision, and be adept at handling data protection and intellectual property issues in contracts.

About you

You are an English & Welsh qualified solicitor or barrister with good post-qualification experience, and good contract, commercial and related data protection experience.

You will also be able to offer practical, commercially sound advice, potentially outside your field of knowledge or expertise. A background working in-house, or in the charity or healthcare sector, is desirable although not essential.
