Solicitor

Are you a recently qualified solicitor or barrister? Whether you have just completed your training or gained some post-qualification experience as a Paralegal, and want to engage with a diverse range of cases, this could be the next role for you.

In this role you will open the door to continuous development through invaluable learning opportunities within our team, making the most of your experienced colleagues. As the legal foundation for different Council teams, you'll play a crucial role in providing legal insights, across an engaging blend of cases. We pride ourselves on having a positive, collaborative team culture where knowledge-sharing, mentoring, and mutual support are strongly encouraged.

Based primarily at County Hall in Trowbridge, the role offers hybrid working arrangements to ensure the right equilibrium for you and the service, and there may be occasions where you need to attend court in person.

Extensive experience is not a requirement - we're interested in potential. If you're adept at research, analysis, and communication, coupled with strong interpersonal and organisational skills, you're exactly the person we're seeking. This includes applications from candidates who are in the process of completing their qualifying work experience and SQE qualifications as a Solicitor.

This position comes with a 15% market supplement payment. All market supplement payments are subject to review on an annual basis.
