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 getting things right for residents, delivering differently, and operating within a sustainable financial framework.

This presents 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 Contract Lawyer to join our Commercial, Property & Planning legal team and play a key role in delivering high-quality legal services to the Council.

The successful candidate will handle a varied and challenging caseload related to contract and procurement matters.

You must 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 will be determined based on experience.

Closing date: Monday 2 June
