Job description

Locum Paralegal – South West Local Authority – 6 months + - Office Attendance - £20-24.93 /hr Umbrella

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Paralegal or Legal Assistant to join a Devon based Local Authority on an interim basis.

This is a full-time position, offered for an initial term of 6 months (any extensions agreed thereafter), and is to start as soon as possible. Candidates will be expected to attend the office in Devon a minimum of 4 days a week.

This position offers a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience working with a dedicated Local Authority Legal team, across a variety of areas including Planning, Property and Litigation. Previous Local Authority experience is beneficial for this position, but by no means essential.

Duties and responsibilities may include:

  • Providing advice on routine and simple legal issues and cases
  • Researching and understanding relevant areas of the law to ensure Council policies and procedures remain compliant
  • Keeping up to date with changes in legislation
  • Preparing bundles for court/tribunal hearings
  • Managing case files and maintaining legal records
  • Requesting Court-directed disclosure
  • Assisting with Business Support matters within the Council
  • Establishing and maintaining good working relationships, both with clients and other members of staff.
  • Any other duties appropriate to the grade as may be assigned by one of the Legal Service Managers

The successful candidate will have achieved a good standard of general education, with GCSE grades A to C (or equivalent) in English and Maths. Good interpersonal skills are essential as are ICT skills with usual Microsoft Office packages and the ability to be administratively self-sufficient.

An umbrella rate of up to £24.93 per hour is offered for this position.

For more information, please contact Josh Cowan at with a recent CV and we will be in touch to discuss.

Venn Group is an equal opportunities employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates
