If you want to work on the projects shaping the future of Scotland and the wider UK — while building your career within one of the most respected planning teams in the market — this is an opportunity worth serious consideration. I’m working with a leading UK law firm with a standout reputation in planning, infrastructure and compulsory purchase work. Following continued growth and a significant increase in client demand, the Edinburgh team is looking to appoint planning lawyers across a range of experience levels to support an expanding and high-profile workload. This is not a narrow or purely regional planning role. The team operates as one integrated national practice, advising on some of the UK’s most significant development and infrastructure projects while offering lawyers the opportunity to play a visible and meaningful role from the outset. The practice advises both private and public sector clients across the full development lifecycle, from early consenting strategy and regulatory planning advice through to project delivery and dispute resolution where required. Its lawyers are trusted advisers on major planning and compulsory purchase matters and are recognised for delivering commercially focused, strategic advice on complex projects. Applications are welcomed from lawyers with experience in any combination of town and country planning, development consenting, compulsory purchase and compensation, EIA and HRA matters, inquiries and examinations, or judicial review. The team is open-minded in its approach and values varied experience, welcoming applications from those currently in private practice as well as lawyers with local authority or in-house backgrounds. The quality and variety of work are a major draw. Lawyers in the Edinburgh team are involved in nationally significant projects spanning energy, transport, utilities and the built environment, working on matters that are often politically sensitive, technically challenging and commercially important. Recent and ongoing work includes major renewable energy developments, onshore and offshore wind projects, large-scale solar, pumped storage hydro, carbon capture initiatives, nuclear and interconnector developments, pipeline and water infrastructure, transport and rail projects, data centres, and large-scale redevelopment and regeneration schemes. What sets this opportunity apart is the balance between top-tier work and a genuinely collaborative environment. You will be part of a highly regarded team where lawyers are encouraged to take ownership, contribute strategically and build strong client relationships, while benefiting from the support and expertise of experienced colleagues across the wider practice. The culture is ambitious without being corporate for the sake of it — supportive, collegiate and invested in long-term development. Whether you are looking to deepen your planning specialism, broaden your infrastructure exposure or take the next meaningful step in your career, this role offers the platform and quality of work to do exactly that. For planning lawyers in Edinburgh seeking market-leading work, high-profile projects and a team with genuine depth and reputation, this is an opportunity that stands out.

Are you an experienced people professional looking for a part-time role with real variety and genuine impact? We're a renewable energy consultancy of around 45 people, doing work that matters — and we're looking for a Head of People to cover a period of maternity leave for our Director of People & Strategy. Rather than a like-for-like cover, this role focuses on the people function specifically — giving us the senior people leadership we need while also creating space to make real progress on some priorities that matter to us. This isn't a role where you'll be buried in process or managing a large team — but you will need to be comfortable rolling your sleeves up when needed. It's a senior, relationship-led position where you'll be the people voice in the room — advising our SLT and CEO, handling situations that need real senior people experience, and helping us make meaningful progress on some priorities we're genuinely excited about. In a team of 45 you'll need to be both strategic and hands-on, sometimes in the same week. What you'll be doing You'll act as people business partner to our Senior Leadership Team and Heads of Department — attending meetings, contributing to decisions, and being the go-to for anything that needs a senior people perspective. You'll own complex employee relations matters, oversee our recruitment activity, and keep our people governance and policies in good shape. You'll also line manage our People Experience Manager, who is stepping up into an expanded role during this period. And alongside the day-to-day, there's a real opportunity to lead on some meaningful people projects — things like developing our EVP and starting to build our approach to DEI. The exact scope will be agreed with you when you join, shaped around your expertise and our priorities. What we're looking for You'll have solid senior generalist people experience — ideally as a People Business Partner or Head of People — and you'll know what good looks like in a small, fast-moving organisation. You won't need a big team around you to do your best work, and you'll be comfortable building trust quickly with people at all levels. You're pragmatic, calm under pressure, and the kind of person who brings clarity to people situations rather than complexity. You communicate well — in writing and in person — and you understand the difference between being a senior advisor and rolling up your sleeves for everything. The nice to haves Experience in professional services or consultancy, exposure to DEI, EVP or management development work, and any H&S knowledge are all welcomed — but none are dealbreakers. The detail Location: Edinburgh, Stockbridge office (hybrid) Hours: 22.5 hours per week — 3 days, or spread across 4 if you prefer Contract: 12-month fixed-term Salary: £60,000 FTE (£36,000 actual) Start date: July (ideally 13th July at the latest) What is it like to work at Locogen?
