Job Description

Legal Support Officer

Swindon Borough Council are on an exciting journey to transform service delivery. We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

We are looking for 2 x highly motivated individuals to join our team who can provide precise legal administrative support.

The role will be based at our Wat Tyler House offices in the centre of Swindon, providing support to the Childcare Legal Team daily as well as regularly supporting the wider legal team. Reporting to the Legal Practice Manager, you will be responsible for providing a high standard of legal administrative support.

A minimum of 6 months administrative experience within a legal office is desirable. A keen eye for accuracy is essential with the ability to prioritise your own workload, responding to conflicting pressures, with guidance from the Principal Solicitors and your Team Manager. A high standard of administration, organisational, communication and people skills are necessary for this role; the successful applicant will be a team player who is meticulous and motivated.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

Potential applicants are sometimes put off if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We think individual experience, skills and passion make all the difference, so if you meet the majority of the criteria, we’d love to hear from you.
