Are you passionate about justice, fairness, and keeping our communities safe?

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Antisocial Behaviour Legal Officer to join our dynamic team at PA Housing. This role is all about protecting residents’ rights, promoting safe communities, and ensuring our tenancy practices are fair, consistent, and compliant.

If you’ve got a strong legal mind, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love solving complex problems, this is your chance to make a genuine impact — helping us uphold the law while supporting positive outcomes for our residents.

What’s in it for you….

In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:

• High street discount schemes
• Health cash plans
• 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
• Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you’ll be doing…

• Provide legal support and advice on tenancy and Antisocial Behaviour cases, ensuring compliance with legislation and policy

• Prepare and manage court proceedings, witness statements, and legal documentation

• Work closely with internal teams, external partners, and residents to resolve legal and Antisocial Behaviour issues

• Support eviction and enforcement processes while focusing on tenancy sustainment where possible

• Build strong relationships with local courts, solicitors, and key stakeholders

• Keep accurate case records, monitor outcomes, and report on performance

• Champion customer care, ensuring every interaction is handled with professionalism, empathy, and fairness

• Help shape and implement best practice in legal and Antisocial Behaviour management

What we’re looking for…

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Are confident initiating the legal process — preparing and submitting applications for injunctions, full injunctions, and possession proceedings so cases are court-ready for legal representation

• Have experience in handling ASB injunctions and possession proceedings

• Have experience working within housing, legal, or enforcement services

• Understand Landlord and Tenant legislation and social housing best practice

• Are confident handling complex legal cases and interpreting legislation

• Can prepare accurate legal documentation and case files to a high standard

• Communicate clearly and persuasively – both in writing and in person

• Have strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with great attention to detail

• Are calm under pressure and can balance empathy with assertiveness

• Bring a proactive, solution-focused approach and a genuine commitment to residents’ wellbeing

If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility.

At PA Housing, we believe in respect, integrity, and accountability. Our work is about people – not just properties – and we’re always looking for ways to do better. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
