Housing Disrepair Fee Earner

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This firm has nearly 40 years’ experience in housing litigation and an outstanding reputation for client care, reflected in their 4.8/5 ratings on Trustpilot and Reviews.io. They are passionate about supporting tenants living in substandard housing and are looking for driven, capable fee earners who want to make a meaningful impact while progressing their careers.

What’s on Offer

• Salary £31,000–£41,000 + bonus (DOE)

• Annual salary review every November

• Full-time, permanent roles with flexible start/finish times

• Hybrid working (Manchester M2 or Liverpool L2 offices)

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays + birthday leave

• 6% employer pension contribution

• Training, development, and clear progression pathways

• Casual dress, city-centre location, subsidised gym membership

• Company sick pay & Death in Service (x4 salary)

• Access to an award-winning Employee Assistance Programme

About the Role
You’ll manage your own caseload of pre- and post-litigated housing disrepair claims, handling files from instruction through to settlement or trial.

Work includes:

• Running cases under Sections 9A & 11 of the Landlord & Tenant Act

• Drafting Letters of Claim and key legal documents

• Reviewing evidence, surveyor reports, and housing records

• Negotiation, mediation, and liaison with counsel

• Issuing proceedings where necessary

• Managing special damages and complying with Pre-Action Protocol

• Using Proclaim case management software efficiently

• Maintaining strong communication with clients and colleagues

What They’re Looking For
The firm is open to candidates with varied levels of experience and has a strong track record of developing talent, including those transitioning from personal injury or other fast-paced litigation backgrounds.

To be considered, you should have:

• Housing Disrepair experience or 3+ years’ civil litigation experience

• Ability to bill at Grade C or above

• Experience using case management systems (Proclaim essential)

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to work at pace

• Confident communication skills, written and verbal

• Experience managing your own litigated files

If you enjoy a busy caseload, want to work in a supportive and growing team, and value genuine flexibility and strong benefits, this could be an excellent fit.
