Legal consultant for maternity leave cover in the central staff

Legal Consultant for maternity leave replacement in central staff

Join Team Jura and use your legal expertise close to the municipality's decision-making processes and political ambitions.

Our colleague will start maternity leave in mid-December 2026, and therefore we are looking for a maternity leave replacement for Team Jura.

Team Jura is part of the staff of Settlement, Economy and Organisation. The team's central location gives you a unique opportunity to get close to the decision-making processes and experience the interplay between law, strategy and politics. The staff consists of three departments: HR, Payroll and Insurance, Development and Communication as well as Law and the Directorate Secretariat.

In Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality we work from an ambitious development strategy with a goal of 3,000 more residents by 2040. In Team Jura we actively contribute to this development. Therefore we are seeking an engaged colleague who, like us, is motivated to translate legal expertise into solutions that support the municipality's political ambitions.

The position and your main tasks In Team Jura you will become part of a professionally strong community with three lawyers and a legal case handler. The team's tasks span broadly and include, among other things, legal sparring across the municipality's areas, general administrative law, real estate, secretarial support to various boards, DPO function, qualification of political agendas, municipal law matters and conducting elections.

We are looking for a generalist, and you will have a broad portfolio of tasks with both classical legal tasks and more administrative tasks. You will, among other things, work with:

• contract qualification
• cases on access to information
• qualification of political agendas
• handling of grants
• preparation of procurement material for sale of real estate
• tenancy contracts and usage agreements

You will be responsible for both the legal aspects and the practical handling of the cases. In the position you will play a central role in the organisation, serving both the political and the administrative level. You will work closely with colleagues across disciplines and contribute to supporting the organisation at all leadership and employee levels.

At the same time, you will become part of an interdisciplinary, informal and professionally strong environment where collaboration, knowledge sharing and sparring are a natural part of everyday life.

Who are we looking for? You hold a cand.jur. or cand.merc.jur. It is an advantage if you have municipal experience, but recent graduates will also be considered.

We imagine that you

• are outgoing and proactive, both professionally and socially
• take active joint responsibility for an efficient task solution
• thrive in a professional community where sparring, learning and curiosity are central
• can convey your professional knowledge clearly and understandably to colleagues with different professional backgrounds and focus on finding the best solutions together
• have an eye for the political direction and the ambitions that drive the organisation
• are motivated by close collaboration with other colleagues and can navigate in a high-tempo environment with tight deadlines
• work proactively and take initiative to drive tasks forward

What can we offer you? We offer an exciting temporary position in a well-functioning and professionally strong team. Here you get the opportunity to gain experience with working in a politically governed organisation.

We are often busy, but we also prioritise balance between work life and private life. We emphasise that going to work should be both fun and meaningful, and that there is room for good collegial relationships and job satisfaction.

Terms of employment and application deadline The position is 37 hours per week, but part-time is possible. Salary and terms of employment are fixed in accordance with the applicable collective agreement.

The workplace is the Town Hall in Ring-e. Since there may be meeting activity at different locations in the municipality, you must have a driver's license.
