Make a Real Impact Through Your Legal Expertise
Are you a qualified solicitor looking for varied, meaningful work where your advice helps shape places, services and communities? This is a fantastic opportunity to join Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Legal Team and play a key role in delivering high‑quality property, contracts and procurement legal support across the district.
Derbyshire Dales is a council with ambition, flair and imagination, driven by continuous improvement. Our “One Team, One Council, One Purpose” approach is about working together to create a brighter, better Derbyshire Dales — and our Legal Team is central to making that happen.
The Role
You’ll join a small, friendly and highly supportive legal team, managing a diverse and interesting caseload that includes:
- Property transactions, leases and disposals
- Commercial contracts
- Procurement and associated advice
- Providing clear, pragmatic legal advice to officers across the Council
This role offers the opportunity to work closely with colleagues from a range of services, contributing to projects that directly support regeneration, service delivery and positive outcomes for local communities.
About You
We’re looking for a qualified solicitor with around two years’ post‑qualification experience, who:
- Enjoys working across property and commercial legal matters
- Has strong organisational and time‑management skills
- Is confident providing practical, solution‑focused advice to non‑legal colleagues
- Values teamwork, collaboration and a supportive working environment
Experience within local government is welcome but not essential.
Why Join Derbyshire Dales?
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, development and work‑life balance:
- 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Membership of the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme
- Flexitime, and hybrid working
- Free onsite parking
- Discounted leisure centre membership and access to a staff discount platform
This fixed‑term role also offers excellent professional development, with exposure to high‑quality public‑sector work and the chance to broaden your legal experience in a collaborative setting.
