A fantastic and rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced and qualified Regulatory lawyer to join our well regarded, professional and friendly legal team on a 2-year, fixed-term basis.  The team serves two major councils in the South East.

The successful candidate must be qualified to practise as a Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive in England and Wales. This full-time post includes the ability to work flexible hours, working patterns and locations. 

Working across two councils, our area is unique in its mix of environments, including the larger urban area of Eastbourne, the historic county town of Lewes, small towns and villages in and around the South Downs National Park and a large area of coastal strip, and so the work is varied and interesting.

The successful applicant will work alongside a team of friendly lawyers as part of the Legal Services department, supported by a dedicated practice manager and case management system.  Lawyers have access to the leading precedent and know-how resources.

Salary is dependant on qualifications and experience and with a substantial benefits package included such as:

  • Local Government pension
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Generous annual leave entitlement (26 days pa pro rata)
  • Learning and development training tailored to your role
  • A wide variety of staff support networks including access to a wellbeing network, staff discounts and more.

The Lewes and Eastbourne areas are much sought after, with vibrant economic, cultural and recreational facilities, as well as easy travel to/from London.

Full time (37 hours) over 5 days or 37 hours compressed over 4 days or 30 hours pw. Part time option would be pro rata. In exceptional circumstances, a part-time role would be considered.
