Generalist Solicitor

National Membership Organisation

Part-time Hours

Remote Working

Locum Contract

Sellick Partnership are pleased to be recruiting for a generalist solicitor role with a leading national membership organisation within the local government sector, providing support and professional services to its members across England.

The role requires working with the Senior Solicitor in the provision and delivery of an in-house legal advisory service to local councils in England and community councils in Wales. This entails the provision of legal advice to individual councils on a wide range of areas of the law, not limited to local government law and to contribute to general guidance produced on discrete areas of law.

Candidates must demonstrate strong legal and research skills, with previous experience working for public authorities being desirable. The ideal candidate will be flexible and adopt a practical approach, recognising that clients are often small bodies that may require additional guidance and support.

This position can be offered on a remote basis; however, if preferred, candidates will be able to use the organisations offices in central London.

The successful candidate will initially be offered a contract lasting until the end of the year, with the potential for this to be extended on a rolling basis thereafter.

Should you require further information or wish to discuss your suitability before applying, please contact Zofia Slater in our Manchester office for a confidential discussion.
