You’ll bring:

• Qualification as a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEX/Fellow), with appropriate post-qualification experience.
• Experience in an in-house legal function, ideally within social housing.
• Strong knowledge of housing litigation, possession proceedings, disrepair and tenancy matters.
• Understanding of the legal and regulatory framework affecting housing associations.
• Experience managing relationships with external legal advisers and internal stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and identify legal risks.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work alongside experienced legal professionals.
• The chance to improve processes and shape our in-house legal services.
• The opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects and organisational improvements.
• A rewarding role within an organisation committed to improving lives and strengthening communities.
