Further Information
We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Legal Officer to fill a new post within the Housing & Litigation Team in Legal Services.
 
The Team deals primarily with housing, regulatory matters, disrepair, anti-social behaviour, prosecutions, licensing, and debt recovery.
 
The successful applicant will have excellent attention to detail with good drafting skills, be someone who can work to strict and often conflicting deadlines managing their own caseload of Selective licence applications and undertake the debt recovery of Selective Licensing fees and civil penalties.
 
Recent experience of ICT is essential. Experience within a local authority legal department and debt recovery would be an advantage but is not essential as the post is within an experienced and supportive team.

You will have an excellent benefits package which includes generous annual leave, flexi time, access to a Local Government Pension Scheme, and salary sacrifice schemes.
 
 Apply online at www.northeastjobs.org.uk, select 'Apply Now' and complete our online application form. Before completing the form please ensure you read the supporting documents. Any communication sent to you regarding your application will be sent to the email address you have set up on your Northeast Jobs account, so you will need to ensure that you check your inbox.
