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.

For full details on the role and requirements, please refer to the job description attached below.

Apply

Please submit your application through our website by Sunday 23 August 2026. Early applications are encouraged as we review throughout the campaign.

Interviews will take place week commencing 7 September 2026 at our Chipping Sodbury office.

What we offer

Flexible and hybrid working; many roles support working across our main locations and home

Performance related pay based on shared success

A choice of pension schemes with employer contributions of up to 10%

Employee Assistance Programme that provides 24/7 virtual GP access, prescription service, and talking therapies for you and your family

Generous holiday, occupational sick pay and paid family leave

Annual allowance of £500 to spend on benefits of your choosing, including healthcare plans, dental care, gym membership and much more

Attractive career development opportunities

About us

We’re Bromford Flagship LiveWest (BFL), a place-based affordable housing provider supporting almost 300,000 customers across the southwest, central and east of England.

Our purpose is simple and honest: we invest in homes and relationships so that people can thrive. As the UK’s largest provider of new affordable homes, we deliver over 3,000 new homes each year—helping to meet growing demand and build stronger communities.

Why our work matters
The need for safe, affordable housing has never been greater. Rising costs, growing inequality and increasing homelessness are making it harder for people to buy or rent a home. Strong housing associations like BFL play a vital role in providing quality homes and creating opportunities for a better future.

Through place-based working, our teams build progress from the ground up. You’ll find us at the heart of the communities we serve—strengthening neighbourhood relationships, responding quickly to changing needs and planning for the long term.

We’re also a place where people can grow. We give our colleagues the tools and opportunities to build meaningful careers, develop future-ready skills and perform at their best, all within a supportive and inclusive culture guided by our values.

We’re a place for people determined to make a difference.

Bromford Flagship LiveWest. A place to make your own.

Our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

We’re proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work, thanks to our inclusive, values-driven culture. We know that diverse teams bring out the best in everyone, and we are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and able to thrive.

We are a proud "Disability Confident" (Level 2) and Menopause Friendly employer and have signed the Armed Forces covenant to support those who serve.

We encourage people from all sections of our community to apply for jobs with us. Particularly, we welcome those who have been historically underrepresented in areas of our workforce including people from ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Wherever possible, we offer flexible working arrangements to help you balance your work and personal life, alongside the tools, training, and opportunities you need to develop and succeed in your career.
