Administration Support Jobs

We’re looking for an enthusiastic individual with legal experience to join us as a Paralegal/Legal Adviser and provide the support we need to help us deliver an effective local service. This is an exciting opportunity and you will play a key part in standing up to the housing emergency. 

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency. 

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything,  

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve. 

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist. 

About the Team

Our Legal team is based around England and is made up of over 100 people, delivering housing advice and litigation services for our clients. Working closely with other teams in Shelter Services, we take referrals from them including certified litigation work, controlled work and Housing Possession Court Duty Schemes.  

Shelter Merseyside has been providing housing advice and support services to local people for over 20 years, helping those facing bad housing and homelessness. The Hub work in partnership with a range of organisations to improve the underlying systems that prevent people from living securely in suitable, safe, affordable accommodation. You will be working alongside the Housing Rights Workers, Management and Administration teams, Community Organising and Lived Experience Teams to bring about systemic change locally. 

About the Role

This is a great chance to help us ensure we provide our clients with a full service. You will assist our solicitors to maintain an active caseload to enable homeless people, as well as those with housing and related problems, to enforce their rights. Your role will be varied and will include taking instructions and witness statements, drafting letters, making applications, providing court representation. You will also ensure time recording and income targets are met. 

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

You will need a sound understanding of litigation work and be able to carry out legal research, with the ability to provide a good standard of professional service and client care. You enjoy collaborating as part of a team, respond quickly and positively to change and are not afraid to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas when appropriate. 

What's more, you will have excellent communication skills - having taken the facts into account, you are able to communicate your thoughts clearly both in writing and face-to-face. Housing law experience and Legal Aid/ CCMS would be an advantage.  Proficiency using case management systems, and time recording will be needed, as well as the ability to manage your time and workload. 

Any applications submitted without a supporting statement will not be considered. 

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme. 

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
