    Therefore, if you are looking to further develop your existing local government experience, change sector into local government or return to work after a career break, you won't find a better place to do so. Whilst local government experience is not essential, a passion for delivering an excellent legal service in a fast-paced environment and a desire to help shape and deliver an exemplar local authority legal service is.

    We offer a wide range of benefits to our employees, these include:

    • Generous annual leave entitlement starting at 28days annual leave per year, 29days for senior managers (pro rata, depending on how many hours per week you work), plus bank holidays.

    • Cycle to Work scheme.
    • Local Government Pension Scheme plus immediate life cover (3 times your annual salary from day one) and ill-health protection.
    • Employee discounts with local and national retailers, days out, finance, health and beauty, travel and eating out plus lots more.
    • Car Lease scheme
    • Payment of professional subscription / membership - If your job description requires that you are registered with or area member ofa professional body, WNC will pay for your professional subscription or membership fees.
    • Employee Assistance Programme - We have an employee support programme run by Health Assured, an independent, external organisation. Health Assured is available for you and your immediate family members, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and includes telephone counselling, legal advice, bereavement support and medical information.
    • Ongoing training and development opportunities.
    • A variety of flexible working options to support your work/life balance, including full or part time, term time, 9-day fortnight, etc. (subject to business needs).
    • Our West Ways of Working – We want our workforce to thrive, and we equip our employees with the right technology to support hybrid and collaborative working, on or off site, depending on the role.
    • Making a difference - If you want to use your skills and experience with an organisation that are genuinely invested in making a difference, are committed to improving people's lives, and whose success has a direct impact on the wellbeing of your family, friends and people in your local area, then West Northamptonshire Council is the place for you.
