Perfectly positioned in the East Midlands, Ashfield is well connected and undergoing significant transformation. With strong transport links and a mix of town centres and rural communities, the district is ambitious for the future, and the Council plays a central role in supporting residents and delivering meaningful improvements.
Ashfield District Council offers a supportive working environment, generous employee benefits including up to 34 days annual leave, flexible working, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and a culture that genuinely invests in your development.
About the Role
Our in-house legal team plays a crucial role in enabling the Council’s vision. As we move through significant local regeneration and change, we’re looking for motivated and pragmatic Solicitors or Chartered Legal Executives to provide clear, effective, and solution-focused legal advice.
What We’re Looking For
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to manage a busy workload and work well under pressure
- Flexible, proactive approach to supporting organisational priorities
- Strong commitment to high-quality, practical legal advice
There are three roles available which will focus on a mix of litigation, contract and property work as well as information governance. While experience in local government is an advantage, we equally value a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a proactive approach.
