About the role

Reporting to the Definitive Map Manager in the Public Rights of Way team, the role provides an opportunity to work across a range of disciplines to contribute to managing and improving footpaths, bridleways and byways across Leeds. These provide an invaluable resource for sustainable and active travel, principally being routes for walking, horse riding and pedal cycling.

This post will assist in the technical delivery and support of the PROW Section in helping to process legal orders and fee earning work such as land charge search responses.
