Employment 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 getting things right for residents, delivering differently, and working within a sustainable financial envelope.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking a new and exciting role. While local government experience is preferred, applications from the private sector are also welcome. We are looking for a full-time Employment Lawyer to join our Corporate Law and Litigation legal team and play a key role in delivering high-quality legal services to the Council.
The successful candidate will manage a varied and intellectually challenging caseload related to employment matters.
You should be a qualified Solicitor or Barrister 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.
