Auckland, New Zealand Believe Housing Limited Full time
Solicitor

Closing date: Sunday 12 January 2025

Salary: £52,530 per annum

Location: Bishop Auckland, Seaham

We’re on the lookout for a Solicitor to join the believe housing team on a permanent basis.

This is an exciting opportunity if you want to make a real difference. We believe in life without barriers. If you aren’t sure you meet 100% of the criteria but think you would be great in this role, don’t let that stop you; we would love to hear from you. We’re interested in your skills, knowledge and experience, as well as your personal values. We’re committed to supporting everyone here at believe housing and being an inclusive organisation.

Although this role is advertised as full-time, we will consider part-time, job share and alternative working pattern proposals where possible.

We’re a family-friendly, flexible employer, and we encourage everyone to ‘work the believe way’. For us, this means keeping things simple, doing more of what matters, and removing tasks and processes that don’t add value.

Where and when you work is flexible depending on the demands of your role, our customers’ needs and your individual work preference (as agreed with your manager).

Our offices are based in Seaham and Bishop Auckland and although we work flexibly, it is envisaged that this role will require both an offsite and onsite presence as per business need when required.

About the Role

You will contribute to our high performing and friendly team of legal professionals providing legal advice and support to one of the largest housing associations in the north east.

You do not have to have worked for a housing association previously. You may have worked in-house for a business, in-house for a public authority or be working in private practice. Your experience and skills may be in property or land law, litigation, housing management or another area of practice that would contribute to our team. We are keen to hear from you if you are as flexible and ambitious as we are to provide a first-class service to the business.

Our people are our greatest asset which is why we value you, encourage you, look after you, and empower you.

As well as a competitive salary of £52,530 per annum some of our top benefits and rewards include:

  • 31-33 days of annual leave
  • Working the believe way allows us to be more agile in the ways we work and creates a great work-life balance
  • Believe housing is committed to providing a first class pension offer with employer contributions into the local government pension scheme (LGPS), which is currently equivalent to 27.1% of your gross salary
  • Up to four days paid volunteering leave each year

If you believe that you demonstrate our values and can bring something special to this role, then apply now . We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Here at believe housing we are a disability confident employer, if you require any adjustments or support throughout our recruitment process, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

  • Closing date for applications is 11.59pm on Sunday 12 January 2025.
  • All applicants must go through our website.
  • Interview date to be confirmed.
  • Previous applicants need not apply.
Interested?

If you believe that you demonstrate our values and can bring something special to this role, then we are looking forward to hearing from you.
