Description

We have two permanent full-time roles available in our Legal Professional Support Team. If you'd like to join the team, we'd really like to hear from you.

It's your chance to be part of a large, experienced and supportive Service, assisting the Council in the effective delivery of legal support across a broad range of matters.

You'll have the opportunity to work with any number of our specialist teams, but primarily you will be supporting the lawyers either within the busy Regulatory and Litigation Team or busy Commercial Team.

The roles include providing comprehensive professional support to our team of lawyers including coordination of legal cases in our case management system, supporting lawyers in the delivery of legal work, audio digital typing, electronic filing, preparing court bundles and contracts etc., and helping administer the Legal Helpline and Team Inbox.

You'll have great communication skills, as well as being confident, adaptable, flexible and ready to work collaboratively as part of a supportive and experienced team.

These roles are an excellent stepping-stone for anyone wishing to pursue a career in law. It's varied and interesting work within a very friendly but busy Service, and you'll get the support you need.

There are many benefits of working for Cornwall Council such as a defined benefit pension scheme, competitive salary, family friendly policies and flexible working.

This role can be carried out partly remotely, but you will be required to work within our Truro, New County Hall, office on at least 2 to 3 days out of 5 because some office-based working is required to support service needs.

More regular attendance may be required in the first few weeks whilst you learn the role. We can discuss this with you during the recruitment process.

For an informal conversation or to obtain more details about the role, please contact Fiona Salmon on

This is a full-time, permanent role.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall.

In order to best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a diverse workforce that is inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures and identities; e.g.

race, disability, sex, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. We are an equal opportunities and Disability Confident employer, and we will assess applicants on their merits.

Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and following safer recruitment principles to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, young people and adults at risk.

It's a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keeping all service users safe from harm.

Whilst the location/work-base for this role has been specified our evolving ways of working means that the role may require you to also work remotely (e.g. from home/other locations). We will discuss this with you during the recruitment process.
