This is a full-time, temp-to-perm opportunity for someone with a legal background who is passionate about delivering high-quality service and making a difference in housing litigation.

Your new role
In this role, you will support the Disrepair Legal Team in defending legal claims related to property condition and disrepair. You’ll work closely with solicitors and legal officers to manage cases, draft legal documents, and liaise with internal teams and external agencies.

This is a full-time role offering hybrid working, and typical working hours of 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

What you’ll get in return
In return, you’ll be part of a supportive and inclusive team that values professionalism and collaboration. You’ll gain hands-on experience in housing litigation and have the opportunity to grow within a respected organisation committed to serving its tenants.
