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 services differently, and operating 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 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 manage a varied and intellectually challenging caseload related to contract and procurement matters.

Applicants must be qualified Solicitors, Barristers, or Legal Executives (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 reflect the level of experience.

Closing date: Monday 21 July

Croydon Council supports flexible and remote working as part of its hybrid working arrangements.

Equal Opportunities and Safeguarding Statement:

Croydon Council is an inclusive employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role, as part of our commitment to the disability confident scheme.
