Post Ref: CE133 Whether it is the award winning parks, nature reserves, historic architecture, museums, galleries or first class leisure facilities - Calderdale has it all. You will be based in Halifax town centre and have all the benefits of retail and leisure that a large town has to offer.
We are looking for an experienced Solicitor to join our Contracts & Commercial Team. The role requires somebody who is highly motivated, hardworking and able to work autonomously whilst still being able to work as part of a team. Having the ability to grasp complex legal issues, particularly in the context of construction projects, and being able to provide plain English advice is a pre-requisite.
The successful candidate will also have good negotiating skills and the ability to provide clients with sound commercial advice in the context of the many challenges facing the public sector. Experience of working in local government and a working knowledge of public procurement law would therefore be an advantage.
Employees of the Council enjoy a comprehensive reward and benefits package, which includes flexible working, generous terms and conditions of employment and access to a wide range of retail discounts and lifestyle savings to name a few.
For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Legal Services on 01422 393160 and ask to speak to a solicitor in the Contracts Team.Download: Role Profile
