We have an exciting role on offer within our Legal Service as a Legal Assistant (Regulatory).

Middlesbrough Council is a forward thinking Council with ambitious plans and Legal Services is now looking to expand its team with the addition of a Legal Assistant to support our Lawyers through the provision of a first class legal service.  The Legal Assistant will mainly work within the Regulatory Team. This team deals with a wide ranging interesting caseload including enforcement against criminal activity and anti-social behaviour, licensing, housing, employment, SEN and civil claims taken by and against the Council.

It may be that you are a recent graduate or have been working in a law firm for a number of years and looking for a change.
