## Description

As our Homelessness and Housing Litigation Solicitor, you'll provide clear, practical legal advice on complex and sensitive housing matters, with a particular focus on homelessness, allocations, appeals and judicial review.

You'll manage your own caseload, draft and defend proceedings, prepare advice and legal documents, and work closely with officers across the Council to find practical, legally sound solutions.

Your work may include advising on housing policy and strategy, preparing judicial review responses, supporting decision-making and appearing as an advocate where appropriate.

You must be a qualified Solicitor, Barrister or Fellow of CILex entitled to practise in England and Wales. You'll bring strong knowledge of homelessness and housing law, including experience of homelessness appeals, allocations, judicial review and wider housing litigation.

At RBKC, we're all in – investing in our people, our communities and our future. You'll join a friendly, experienced bi-borough litigation team of 15 lawyers, where support, collaboration and professional growth go hand in hand.

We offer a salary of GBP 58,899 per year.
