Solicitor
We are looking for a solicitor to join the Council’s Legal and Governance Services. The post is in the People Team which delivers creative and customer focused legal services in relation to the Council’s functions which relate to people. This predominantly involves legal support for social work, education, housing, community safety, licensing and human resources.
The Person
We are looking for someone who has a genuine interest and commitment to a career in local government and in the areas of work covered by the team. You will be part of a supportive and dynamic team which is passionate about delivering high quality legal advice and support to clients.
The breadth and nature of the work is challenging. You will have compassion and empathy because a significant element of the job involves supporting the work of the Council’s social work teams who work with vulnerable children and adults.
You will be professionally curious and able to think creatively to support clients. You must be able to demostrate an ability to find solutions to problems. You will be able to work collaboratively and closely with those from other disciplines such as social workers and education professionals, developing trusted, respectful relationships.
As the work of the team involves litigation, you must have experience of litigation and a commitment to continuing your development in this area. You will be a team player, working closely with colleagues to ensure that the team’s commitments are met, sharing ideas and supporting each other to achieve the best outcomes for clients.
You must be a qualified solicitor in Scotland, with a full, unrestricted practising certificate issued by the Law Society of Scotland.
