• Embedded into the wflH Programme
• Providing day-to-day support for the programme activities and working with external legal advisers, and individuals at all levels across the programme delivery team.
• Expected to have a good grounding in consenting (planning), environment and regulatory law.

This role reports to the Senior Environment and Planning Solicitor in the wider legal team but you will be working with a small project team.

Experience gained acting on Development Consent Order matters, in the utilities sector or taking delivery projects through consenting in a regulated sector would be particularly desirable.

The role in will suit a candidate who is enthusiastic, flexible, willing to work hard and enjoy working in a team environment. The successful candidate will be willing to attend our office in Falmer, preferably 2 - 3 days per week but can be flexible for the right candidate.
