The partnership has 150-160 staff and a turnover of £14 million. Over 1 million people are represented by the constituent councils. Operating at scale has enabled it to recruit and retain excellent staff and to provide a consistently high standard of service to our five Boroughs

We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic applicants, keen to develop their skills in a public sector environment. Please do not be put off if you have limited local government experience - it is your determination to provide a top-class legal service which will matter most.

We are looking for a Senior lawyer with a proven track record in dealing with commercial property matters relating to asset portfolio management and experience in dealing with all aspects of public sector land holdings be that for development, sale, lease or otherwise. You will need to be able to demonstrate an ability to provide advice on all aspects of local authority land dealings. Ideally, you should be able to demonstrate experience and a good understanding of local authority governance.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication, drafting skills and the ability to provide legal advice to a variety of audiences, including senior officers and Members. This post will have supervisory responsibilities for up to 3 lawyers and so previous experience of supervising staff is desirable.

SLLP’s Vision & Values include a commitment to improving services through the development of our staff in an inclusive and supportive environment. We aim to attract and retain a workforce which reflects the diverse communities we serve.
