Housing Disrepair Team Leader | Liverpool
I’m working with a well-established specialist housing litigation firm in Liverpool that is looking to appoint a Housing Disrepair Team Leader to join its growing team.
This is a good opportunity for an experienced Housing Disrepair professional who is ready to take the next step in their career and move into a leadership position, while still maintaining their own caseload.
The role
You’ll take responsibility for leading and developing a team of Fee Earners and Paralegals, helping to ensure the team delivers against its targets while maintaining high standards of client care and legal work.
You’ll be involved in:
- Managing workloads, performance and day-to-day team activity
- Coaching and mentoring Fee Earners and Paralegals
- Conducting regular 1-2-1s, team meetings and performance reviews
- Auditing files and providing technical guidance
- Supporting with more complex case queries and key documentation
- Monitoring targets, quality and client service
- Identifying training needs and opportunities to improve processes
- Supporting recruitment and onboarding of new team members
- Working closely with other Team Leaders and senior management
- Keeping up to date with developments in Housing Disrepair and the wider legal sector
You’ll also run your own caseload, supported by a Paralegal, so this is a hands-on leadership role rather than a position that is purely management focused.
What they’re looking for
The firm is open to candidates with at least 2 years' litigation experience, although Housing Disrepair experience would be strongly preferred.
You’ll ideally have:
- Experience handling a busy litigation caseload
- Strong knowledge of Housing Disrepair
- Previous experience supervising, mentoring or supporting junior team members
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- The ability to manage competing workloads and deadlines
- Confidence making decisions and dealing with complex issues
- A genuine interest in developing others and improving team performance
- Experience with Proclaim or another case management system would be advantageous
What’s on offer?
- Competitive salary and bonus
- Hybrid working
- Liverpool city centre location
- Flexible start and finish times
- 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
- Birthday off
- 6% employer pension contribution
- Company sick pay
- Subsidised gym membership
- Death in service benefit at 4x salary
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Training, development and ongoing support
- Casual dress environment
The firm has been established for over 40 years and specialises in housing litigation, with a strong reputation in the market and a growing team.
If you're currently working in Housing Disrepair and feel you're ready to step into a Team Leader role, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation and give you more information.
