About the role:

As Senior Solicitor, you will deliver high-quality, in-house legal expertise across Paradigm, managing complex cases, advising senior leadership, and helping uphold our strong culture of continuous improvement and risk management. Reporting to the Head of Legal, you’ll partner with key stakeholders, including Directors and Heads of Service, providing guidance that supports our strategic goals and safeguards our operations.

In this varied role, you will lead on property litigation matters such as residential landlord/tenant issues, housing management, and anti-social behaviour cases.

  • Develop and lead training sessions for colleagues, helping them become “intelligent clients” when engaging with external legal services.
  • Work with the Head of Legal on strategic projects, deputising as needed and drafting well-structured reports on legal matters for senior stakeholders.
  • Actively engage in CPD and seek feedback to support your professional growth and enhance our legal team’s expertise.

About you:
