Junior Housing Management Solicitor

Job Advert At Torus Group, our Legal Services team plays a vital role in supporting thriving communities and protecting the services we provide to our customers.

We are looking for a Junior Housing Management Solicitor to join our high-performing, collaborative team, delivering responsive and innovative legal support across the Group.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified solicitor or someone working towards qualification who is passionate about social housing and looking to develop their advocacy, case management and business partnering skills in a supportive, purpose-driven environment.

The salary for this role is up to £43,601. A qualified solicitor is preferred; however, we would consider a part-qualified candidate on a development plan.
