Shape the Future of the East Midlands – Join EMCCA’s New Legal Team up to £80,991 and market supplement may be available

East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is the first mayoral combined county authority in the country – a bold new organisation established in 2024 to drive growth and opportunity across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Derby and Nottingham.

By bringing decision‑making closer to our region, we’re creating a better connected, more competitive and more prosperous East Midlands.

We’re building a brand new legal team with the potential to achieve something special. This is a unique opportunity to join at a formative stage, help design a legal service fit for the future, and play a key role in delivering our ambitious regional agenda – including our flagship Inclusive Growth programme.

About the role

We’re looking for a General Counsel (Deputy Monitoring Officer) to provide strategic legal leadership and ensure EMCCA operates lawfully, transparently and with integrity.

Reporting to the Director of Legal, Governance and Compliance, you will:

  • Lead a new in‑house legal team of 12 professionals with an ambition to grow further
  • Oversee external legal providers
  • Provide high level legal advice to senior leaders

As Deputy Monitoring Officer, you will uphold high standards of decision‑making and support EMCCA’s wider strategic ambitions.

This is a rare opportunity to shape governance and legal frameworks within a newly established Combined County Authority, working at the forefront of devolution in the East Midlands.

About you

  • Qualified solicitor or barrister with strong post‑qualification experience in public law, governance or regulation
  • Confident operating at senior level, with excellent judgement and integrity
  • Skilled at leading, influencing and building relationships across complex organisations
  • Ready to thrive in a fast‑evolving environment and shape a modern, high‑performing legal service
