· Draft and review legal documents, letters before action, witness statements, statements of case, court applications and settlement documents.

· Manage court directions, limitation dates, procedural deadlines and case progression.

· Conduct advocacy where appropriate or liaise effectively with counsel.

· Supervise and manage three paralegals, including allocating tasks, reviewing work, providing guidance and ensuring file progression.

· Maintain accurate files and ensure compliance with professional, regulatory and legal aid requirements.

· Communicate professionally with clients, courts, opponents, counsel, experts and third parties.

· Support the growth and efficient running of the department.

Mandatory requirements

· Qualified Solicitor in England and Wales.

· Minimum of 5 years’ post-qualification experience.

· Strong and proven litigation experience.

· Housing law experience.

· Legal aid experience.

· Property law experience.

· Civil litigation experience.

· Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

· Experience supervising or managing paralegals, legal assistants or junior staff.

· Excellent drafting, negotiation and client advisory skills.

· Strong understanding of civil procedure, court deadlines and litigation strategy.

· Good organisational skills and ability to manage a busy caseload.

Desirable experience

· Experience with possession proceedings, homelessness matters, disrepair claims, landlord and tenant disputes or related housing issues.

· Experience with CCMS, Legal Aid Agency compliance, legal aid billing or supervisor requirements.

· Advocacy experience in the County Court or tribunal.

· Law Society Housing Accreditation or relevant legal aid supervisor status.

· Experience handling both privately funded and publicly funded matters.

· Knowledge of Bromley, South East London or surrounding court/legal services market.

Person specification

· Confident, professional and able to make sound litigation decisions.

· Independent, self-motivated and reliable.

· Calm under pressure and able to manage urgent deadlines.

· Client-focused with strong communication skills.

· Organised, detail-oriented and proactive.

· Able to supervise junior staff while maintaining responsibility for own caseload.

· Commercially aware and practical in approach.

What we offer

· Competitive remuneration based on Bromley market rates.

· Consultancy or temp-to-permanent arrangement with potential for a permanent role.

· Varied and meaningful work across housing, legal aid, property and civil litigation.

· Responsibility for your own caseload and direct client contact.

· Opportunity to supervise and develop a team of three paralegals.

· Supportive working environment and opportunity to contribute to departmental growth.
