Elmbridge Borough Council has an exciting opportunity for a Legal Officer to join its growing Legal Team.
Being a Legal Officer at Elmbridge is more than providing legal advice on property matters, it’s more than conveyancing and contracts. At Elmbridge, our property portfolio – made of up of local property investments as well as civic buildings and sports facilities – allows us to deliver our services to the local community.
By working at Elmbridge Borough Council, you will make a real difference in the community.
As a Legal Officer, you’ll play a vital role in supporting the council’s work by providing support and legal advice on a wide range of commercial and residential property transactions, including leases acquisitions and disposals as well as attending Committee meetings.
You will have the opportunity to develop your career, whilst helping shape a sustainable and thriving local area. You will work with a group of dedicated people, committed to delivering the best services to its residents and businesses.
You will benefit from our excellent pension, as well as the ‘Thrive’ package of employee benefits and discounts with various local businesses and free employee parking.
We offer hybrid working arrangements, as well as your birthday off and we are closed between Christmas and New Year (no annual leave required).
We have also launched the Octopus Electric Vehicles’ (EV) electric car salary sacrifice scheme as a new employee benefit. You give up some of your gross monthly pay for a new EV and save on the monthly cost thanks to the saving on National Insurance and Income Tax.
