Senior Solicitor

Salary: £56,674 - £59,059 per annum (inclusive of 15% market supplement)

Hours: 37 hours per week

Interview Date: Week commencing Monday 22 June 2026

This role is primarily litigation focused and will involve managing and advising on a wide range of contentious matters. You will represent the Council in court and tribunal proceedings (both remotely and in person), provide advice on litigation risk, strategy, and case management, and support service areas with pre action correspondence and dispute resolution.

Your caseload may include public law litigation, statutory appeals, enforcement and regulatory proceedings, injunctions, complaints related challenges, inter agency disputes, and other complex contentious matters arising from the Council's functions. You will also advise on litigation related policy issues and contribute to internal training and knowledge sharing as required.

Although your designated workplace will be our main office at County Hall in Trowbridge, we embrace hybrid work arrangements that offer flexibility and maintain productivity, ensuring the right equilibrium for you and the service, though you will be expected to attend court in person when required.

This position comes with a 15% market supplement payment. All market supplement payments are subject to review on an annual basis.
