Job introduction

Brighton & Hove Council’s Commercial Law Team is recruiting 4 new roles!

We are looking for confident and highly motivated lawyers and trainees to join our Commercial Law Team. You will be joining a Lexcel accredited, dynamic and supportive legal team which is committed to career development. We welcome applicants from lawyers who want to work remotely, flexibly or part time.

Interview date: Week commencing 13 July (via Skype)

Please contact Alice Rowland, Head of Commercial Law, on 01273 291503 or alice.rowland@brighton-hove.gov.uk if you would like to discuss any of the roles.

About the role

 Contracts and Procurement Lawyer

You will manage a varied case load as well as having the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and work on the Council’s Major Projects.

Experience of contracts and procurement law is desirable. Excellent client care, communication skills, a positive attitude and a willingness to develop in the role are essential.

Commercial Property Lawyer

You will have a real impact by helping the Council provide affordable housing though its buy back scheme and by maximising the Council’s income from its significant commercial property portfolio. We are looking to recruit a qualified lawyer with relevant conveyancing experience to support this area of work, working as part of a supportive property legal team.

Additional information

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.

Company information

We welcome applications from all sections of the community but particularly encourage applicants from a BME or White Other background as well as those who identify as disabled, LGB, male or trans as these groups are currently under-represented in our Directorate workforce.

As part of Brighton & Hove City Council's ongoing commitment to redeployment, please note that this vacancy may be withdrawn at any stage of the recruitment process, without prior notice if a suitable redeployee (internal employee at risk of redundancy) is identified.
