In this newly created role, you will shape the legal advice of the Office for Vocational and Continuing Education. As the central contact person, you support seven schools, management and administration in legal matters, bring structure to complex issues and help shape the further development of the office.

Your tasks

You enjoy analysing legal issues, developing pragmatic solutions and advising different stakeholders competently and understandably.
You communicate confidently, work independently and in a structured manner, and impress with a strong service orientation and a confident demeanour.
Thanks to your networked thinking, you keep an overview even in demanding situations and like to contribute to projects and cross-departmental issues.
