What you'll need to succeed
To be considered for this role you will be a UK qualified Solicitor (or equivalent) with at least 5 years PQE, ideally with experience of working within the public sector environment. You will have an excellent knowledge of Housing law as well as Criminal and Civil litigation rules.
