    You will be required to provide strategic advice on procurements subsidy control and data protection in addition to interpretating various contractual documents.

    The role also involves being aware of changing legislation and the implications of changing legislation and case law, whilst also being interested in developing specialist knowledge in other areas, such as subsidy control.

    Previous experience of working within a Local Authority environment would be useful but is not essential. It is possible that the role could involve travel to other parts of Hertfordshire so access to your own transport would be beneficial.
