Your new company
A leading provider of housing and support services, dedicated to delivering high-quality services and improving lives and communities. Join today on a 12 month fixed-term contract (salaried) or temporary basis (hourly rate).

Your new role
As a Solicitor in the Housing Legal Team, you will provide expert legal advice on housing management and tenancy enforcement matters, particularly those involving anti-social behaviour. You will handle claims and applications from start to finish, ensuring all necessary work is completed efficiently. Your responsibilities will include:

• Acting as a key contact for housing management and tenancy-related legal advice.
• Supporting the Housing Legal Team and other internal departments with litigation processes.
• Attending court hearings and ensuring thorough preparation for the best outcomes.
• Keeping up-to-date with court procedures, Civil Procedure Rules, and case law changes.
• Providing training on legal processes related to housing management issues.
• Preparing legal documents such as notices, pleadings, and witness statements.

What you'll need to succeed

• Qualified Solicitor, with a current practising certificate, and up to 3 years PQE.
• Knowledge and experience in Housing Law and Homeowner and Tenant Law.
• Experience in a local authority setting or with a registered provider of social housing. Those from private practice will also be considered.
• Strong knowledge of possession proceedings, Civil Procedure Rules, and general civil litigation.
• Experience in drafting legal documents and attending court hearings.
• Enthusiasm for teamwork and the ability to work independently.
• Willingness and ability to travel across a wide area.

What you'll get in return

• Competitive salary of up to £48,000 (depending on experience).
• Flexible working arrangements, including three days at various sites (Birmingham, Oldbury, Hinkley) and two days working from home.
• This is a full-time role, with the possibility of discussing alternative working patterns such as four days a week or three very long days. The position is initially offered on a fixed-term contract, likely extending from 2025 through early 2026, with a slim chance of becoming permanent.
• 25 days holiday, with the option to buy additional annual leave (if on a fixed-term contract).
• The opportunity to work with a dedicated and supportive team in a role that offers variety, the chance to develop your skills, and the ability to make a positive impact on communities and improve lives.
