You can carry over up to 5 days and buy up to 10 additional days each year. All pro rata for part time staff. No business development, no origination targets and no client pitching.

Handling matters that are high profile, politically sensitive or financially significant, with the judgement that requires. Drafting reports for Cabinet, Cabinet Members and committees, and attending meetings where needed - occasionally outside standard hours. Supporting and supervising junior colleagues, and keeping the team and its clients up to date on developments in the law. Recording time accurately against the team's internal recharge and chargeable hours targets. About you Essential A solicitor or barrister qualified in England and Wales with a current practising certificate, or a Chartered Legal Executive with practice rights, with at least 2 years' post-qualification experience.

Desirable Insolvency law and/or construction litigation experience. Previous local government or other public sector experience
