Home > About the GLS > GLS Departments > DEFRA Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Defra, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, brings together all aspects of policy on the environment, rural affairs, farming and food production. Defra’s mission is to enable us to live within our means, ensuring that the resources and environment that we need and enjoy are available for us all, now and in the future. Defra has roles in both EU and global policy-making, so its work has a strong European and international dimension. Defra was created in June 2001
from the then Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and from the
environmental and countryside business areas of the then Department of
the Environment, Transport and the Regions. Work of Defra Legal Advisors Defra Legal
Advisers (DLA) is one of the largest legal teams in Government. Our lawyers
are employed by the Treasury Solicitor’s Department, but are mainly
co-located with our Defra clients in Westminster, Central London. Vacancies Qualified lawyer vacancies for posts in this Department
are advertised through the central GLS scheme. All vacancies are posted
on the Civil
Service Recruitment Gateway (this link will open in a new window). Further Information For further information visit http://www.defra.gov.uk or http://www.tsol.gov.uk |
