The Council is a family friendly employer, operating an excellent flexi-time scheme to support a healthy work/life balance.
The Legal Section is looking to recruit a reliable and ambitious Legal Assistant.
The successful candidate will provide support to the Legal Section by assisting with a range of tasks such managing administrative duties for the Section, processing invoices, ensuring the destruction of legal documents and files, managing requests for archived deeds and contracts, assisting with preparation of such things as Court bundles and helping to maintain the Council’s Case Management system. Additionally the successful candidate will provide cover in the absence of the Local Land Charges Officer.
