Stafford
Borough Council and Cannock Chase Council operate a shared in-house legal
service. The legal service is based at Stafford, but some travel to our Cannock
office will be required as and when needed.
The post also has the benefit of flexible and hybrid working. We are
currently recruiting for a Senior Planning Lawyer and are seeking a suitably
experienced lawyer (solicitor, barrister or legal executive) with experience in
planning law, and the ability to work with minimal supervision.
This is a great opportunity to join a friendly and dedicated
team of lawyers involved in a wide variety of legal work and focussed on
providing excellent support to both of our councils. As one of our Senior Lawyers,
you will have the opportunity to become involved across the legal function, including
the supervision of other team members, but with a particular focus on the
provision of legal advice and support in town and country planning work. Experience
in local government is desirable but not essential and so we would also welcome
applications from individuals who possess the relevant skills and experience with
a desire to expand that experience into local government work.
