Contract Lawyer, Grade 15-16 (£53,607 - £60,819)
Croydon is London's second largest borough—full of brilliant and diverse people, businesses, and places. As a council, we're undergoing significant change, radically reshaping and renewing our organisation due to financial challenges. We are essentially building a new council—focused on doing right by our residents, delivering differently, and operating within a sustainable financial envelope.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking a new and exciting role. While experience in local government is preferred, we also welcome applications from those with private sector experience. We are looking for a full-time Contract Lawyer to join our Commercial, Property & Planning legal team, playing a key role in delivering high-quality legal services to the Council.
The successful candidate will handle a varied and intellectually challenging caseload related to contract and procurement matters.
You should be a qualified Solicitor, Barrister, or Legal Executive (CILEX), with at least 5 years PQE, or a minimum of 4 years PQE with the Law Society Diploma in Local Government Law (or a similar relevant qualification). The grade reflects the level of experience.
