Manchester Hybrid Working

£45,000 - £55,000+ DOE

I am working with a highly regarded national law firm looking to appoint an Associate / Senior Associate to join its top-tier Housing Management team in Manchester.

The team is consistently ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers UK, recognised for its specialist expertise across housing and health. Acting for a range of organisations operating at the heart of local communities, the team handles a high volume of complex and often high-profile housing matters.

Flexible working is embedded within the firm, alongside a commitment to employee development, wellbeing, and long-term career progression.
