The role is based in a modern office environment with the flexibility of hybrid working and the potential for part-time hours.

What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll play a key role in handling a varied caseload of housing litigation matters, including:
* Managing tenancy and leasehold disputes, with a particular focus on anti-social behaviour and housing management
* Representing clients at County Court, Magistrates’ Court (civil jurisdiction), and First-tier Tribunal hearings
* Providing practical, strategic advice on both litigated and pre-litigated matters
* Drafting pleadings, witness statements, and other court documents
* Liaising with clients, opposing counsel, courts, and relevant third parties
* Participating in business development activities including training sessions, legal briefings, and client support initiatives
* Supporting senior team members in complex or high-value matters, and contributing to departmental goals
* Supervising junior staff or paralegals as appropriate, with support and mentorship available
* Helping to drive innovation, knowledge-sharing, and process improvement within the team

* Ability to manage a varied caseload and meet deadlines efficiently
* Familiarity with relevant case management systems and IT tools
* Confidence working independently and collaboratively
* A supportive and proactive approach to supervising or mentoring others
* A drive to succeed and develop within a forward-thinking, people-first law firm
* Higher Rights of Audience (Civil) is a plus, but not essential

This firm is widely recognised for its inclusive, supportive culture, where team members are genuinely encouraged to grow and succeed. Career progression is clearly mapped and fully supported through mentoring, training, and structured development frameworks.
You’ll join a workplace where people are valued for who they are, not just the work they do. Ideas are listened to, and success is celebrated—whether that’s a great result for a client, or a step forward in your professional journey.
