Legal Adviser / Solicitor (CILEX Fellow)

As a Legal Adviser, you will assist senior legal advisers and the Director of Legal Services and the Legal Services team, working at the heart of the University, in providing high quality, robust and timely advice across the University's activities but primarily focussed on contractual matters as they arise in our supply chain and education partnerships. Your work will always be varied - no two days will be the same.

As a newly qualified solicitor, or legal executive with experience gained in-house or in private practice, you will have had good general training in commercial or contract law. You will be self-sufficient and capable of working independently within agreed parameters, proactively seeking input from senior colleagues as needed, able to work to deadlines and conflicting priorities within a team environment., Disability Confident
