Paralegal £32,597 - £35,412 per year Permanent Full time Honiton About the role As a Paralegal supporting the Legal team, you will provide comprehensive and efficient paralegal and administration support to the legal team. This will include supporting the team in providing legal services and support to the Council. The role will include working on you own initiative and being responsible for your own workload including right to buy sales, minor works contracts, and housing consents producing associated correspondence and assisting with general enquiries. About you With a good standard of education and experience gained in either a private practice or local government legal team, you’ll be a confident and organised individual, with the ability to effectively prioritise your own workload and respond effectively to conflicting demands.
