    projects as part of a multi-disciplinary team; Land & Property: including acquisitions, disposals, site assembly and title investigation, statutory transfers, landlord & tenant, infrastructure agreements and regeneration; Planning: including compulsory purchase and s106 agreements; Grant Agreements:to public and private sector organisations Working with key internal and external stakeholders you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective provision of legal services and have the opportunity to help deliver the homes and places that our communities need, and to support the regeneration of our towns, cities and rural communities.

    You should enjoy working in the transaction environment either directly offering advice or instructing external solicitors to ensure Homes England accesses the best advice.

    From day one, you'll be encouraged, challenged, supported, stretched and listened to. You'll take ownership of projects to develop your skills and work with multi-disciplined teams where your advice matters and directly helps enable us to address the current housing market issues and help deliver the Agency's mission to increase the delivery of new homes.

    You will be curious, adaptable, collaborative and commercially aware. Strong intellectual and analytical skills are important too and we will support you to develop your legal expertise making this role a particularly rare opportunity to have a blended commercial and public sector legal practice.

    A positive attitude when faced with transaction-based challenges and problem solving will be essential qualities. Above all a proven and continuing commitment to offering high quality transactional experience will be essential.

    Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn't always easy.
