London N FL, United Kingdom TRI Consulting Ltd Full time

A Housing Association is currently looking for a number of Disrepair Legal Assistants on a temporary basis for about 3 months

Key responsibilities are as follows

Lead on disrepair cases referred to you by the operational teams, with the goal of maximising income for the organisation

Manage other legal cases assigned to you. Provide support to Paralegals, team managers and team leaders as required – particularly those where there is a crossover with disrepair to ensure cases are managed in a joined-up way.

Work and support paralegals and work effectively with other departments on cases that may require their input to successfully defend and or settle disrepair cases.

Represent the company well in external settings such as court, multi-agency meetings, local authority engagement meetings, mediation and casework panels on tenancy and lease breaches.

Prepare, draft and respond to all necessary legal documentation and bundles, evidence and witness statements as required.

Undertake and collate disclosure for the case handler.

Work effectively with panel solicitors where cases require external involvement.

Take ownership and accountability for your caseload in accordance with performance indicators. Seek advice, flag risk and offer mitigations on issues that may rise.

Work closely with the operational teams and tenancy sustainment and safeguarding teams, to be confident that legal escalation takes place once all reasonable proactive engagement with residents has been exhausted, always focusing on tenancy sustainment objectives.

Support and advise operational teams to ensure legal risks are identified and mitigated appropriately. Proactively feed into policy and practices to support this.

Demonstrate adequate legal knowledge for the role, be inquisitive and keep up to date with developments in the law.

Work alongside legal colleagues to deliver meaningful training, guidance and advice to operational teams

Update required systems and reconcile data from various sources to provide a clear update on caseload and risk.

Work with managers and wider operational teams to review risk and limit the instruction of external solicitors with cost focus in mind.

Provide visible support to the business, carrying out surgeries, training and advice drop ins regularly.
