By working alongside people with disabilities your work will be vital in helping people to manage and sustain their tenancies, prevent and relieve homelessness, deal with debt, benefit issues and promote independence.
You will support the most vulnerable people in our community who experience mental ill-health, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, sensory impairment and autism. Experience of all areas is not essential as full training will be provided to the right candidate.
We have a firm commitment to encouraging fairness and diversity in our work force and we welcome applications from disabled people and those from BME backgrounds.

Specialist Advisor (Land Law)
Are you an experienced Land Law Adviser striving to achieve a better work / home-life balance, boasting a ‘can do’ attitude who enjoys working in a friendly and supportive team environment?
Are you tenacious with tenancies? Confident with covenants? Find easements easy?
Look no further – this exciting opportunity could be the role for you. A position as a Land Law Specialist Adviser has arisen to cover maternity leave. Beyond the fixed term period, it may open up new opportunities for career progression either within our client or otherwise.
This role would be suitable for either a property litigator, or a commercial or residential conveyancer looking for a change.
Specialist Advisor Responsibilities:
As a Land Law Specialist Adviser, you will work within a highly supportive and knowledgeable team in which you will provide high quality legal, technical or policy related advice in response to member queries. You will need to be able to think on your feet and use your initiative to confidently address problems, offering effective and appropriate solutions and advice. Typical queries they receive from their members include tenancy disputes, boundaries, adverse possession, public rights of way and easements, amongst others.
Queries are predominantly dealt with via the telephone, although other mediums are used. For example, you will be involved with reviewing and amending legal guides for members, and confirming advice in writing when required. You will therefore need to have a flexible and adaptable communication style, an excellent telephone manner and experience providing quality customer service.
Specialist Advisor Requirements:
The role requires you to be experienced in advising on Land Law as your fundamental topic, but you may also be required to provide legal advice to their members on other topics such as contract law, planning, transport or environmental issues, following structured and supportive in-house training from their team.
You will need to possess a degree in law, or related subject and have at least 2 years’ post-qualification experience advising on Land Law. The role may suit a solicitor, a licensed conveyancer, or an associate or higher-level member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (or someone working towards that qualification), although this is not essential.
