Use your legal expertise to protect customers and resolve complex housing challenges.

We’re looking for a qualified legal professional to join our Community Safety Team, supporting housing management litigation across Bromford Flagship LiveWest.

You’ll be part of a busy team delivering comprehensive front facing services to customers, colleagues and external partner agencies, acting as an expert in anti-social behaviour and tenancy enforcement.

This is a role where your legal knowledge has real impact — supporting safer communities, resolving tenancy issues and helping the organisation act confidently in complex, high-risk situations.

As a qualified lawyer with at least two years’ PQE, you’ll take ownership of a varied litigation caseload while acting as a trusted advisor across the business.

The impact you’ll have

You’ll play a key role in how we manage housing litigation and community safety.

Managing your own caseload of housing management litigation, including anti-social behaviour, tenancy breach, fraud and enforcement cases
Taking cases from pre-action through to trial, ensuring matters are progressed efficiently and consistently
Conducting advocacy where appropriate and instructing counsel when needed
Partnering with colleagues and external agencies to ensure a joined-up, risk-aware approach
Acting as a trusted advisor — providing guidance, challenge and support to colleagues across the organisation
Supporting capability within the team by sharing knowledge and guiding others

What you’ll bring

You’re a confident legal professional with at least two years’ post-qualification experience, ready to take ownership of your own caseload.

Qualified solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with litigation rights
A minimum of 2 years’ PQE, with experience in housing management litigation (in-house or private practice)
A strong track record of handling cases such as possession, ASB, tenancy breaches or fraud
Advocacy and negotiation skills, with the confidence to represent and influence
The ability to manage a varied caseload and prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment
A proactive, practical approach to solving legal problems

Why this role is different

This isn’t just about managing cases — it’s about helping us respond to complex situations in the right way.

You’ll have the autonomy to manage your own caseload, the opportunity to influence how cases are handled, and the chance to build strong relationships across the business while strengthening your strategic and advisory capability.
