Thanet is looking for an experienced property lawyer, ideally with some experience of working in local government. This is an exciting opportunity to join a positive and diverse legal team. We are looking for a candidate who is motivated, interested, positive, enthusiastic and has significant experience in conveyancing and property law. Experience of working within a local authority legal service, or an equivalent public sector environment, would be advantageous. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a busy team. You will have a good knowledge of at least one area of relevant law and a commitment to keep up to date with all new developments in this area. You must be adaptable, flexible, and able to prioritise tasks daily. Thanet is a great place to live and work Our historic seaside towns of Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs, and the surrounding villages are rich in heritage and opportunity. With 19 miles of stunning coastline, our beautiful Blue Flag beaches, the internationally renowned Turner Contemporary, and the UK’s only Royal Harbour are all just a short train ride from central London, thanks to the high-speed rail link. Our proximity to the port of Dover and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone means Europe is literally on our doorstep too. All of this, combined with a flexible approach to how we work, makes it an exciting time to join Thanet District Council. We have set our sights high. We want our residents to enjoy the highest quality services. We want to ensure that, by listening to local people, working in active partnership, and innovating, we can accelerate improvement to meet the challenges ahead.
