    Are you an experienced property manager looking for a new challenge in a unique and rewarding role?
      
    Our client is an award winning top 100 law firm who is renown for its innovative and modern approach. Due to expansion we are recruiting for someone with experience as a Property Manager who is looking to transition into a Property Specialist Paralegal to join the 4-strong property team within our client’s award-winning Court of Protection department.
      
      
    About the Court of Protection Team
      
    This nationally recognised Court of Protection department is one of the largest and most diversified in the UK. Specialising in managing the property and financial affairs of vulnerable individuals, the team handles highly varied, complex, and high-value cases, including estates valued at £5-75 million.
      
      
    This is a fantastic opportunity to transition from the residential property management sector into a legal environment, with full training provided to help you succeed.

    About the Role
      
    This role is ideal for an experienced property manager with at least 1 year of residential property management experience. While it is titled as a Paralegal position, the role primarily involves property management skills and responsibilities. The property team manages around 300 properties on behalf of clients who lack the capacity to handle their own financial and property affairs.
      
      
    Key Responsibilities:
      

    • Organising safety inspections, flagging repairs, and arranging remedial works.
    • Overseeing day-to-day property operations, ensuring compliance with policies and procedures.
    • Liaising with contractors to organise quotes and repairs promptly.
    • Ensuring properties are adequately insured and managing claims.
    • Co-ordinating valuations for property contents and arranging property valuations with local estate agents.
    • Assisting with the sale of clients’ properties.

      
      
    About You
      
    We’re looking for a professional, proactive individual with:
      

    • At least 1 year of experience in residential property management.
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
    • Confidence in dealing with challenging situations.
    • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
    • The ability to prioritise tasks and work both independently and as part of a team.
    • Strong negotiation skills and a professional outlook.

      
      
      
    Why Join Us?
      
    Our client values their team members and offer opportunities for personal and professional growth. The team has seen tremendous growth in both size and caseload, creating ample opportunities for progression.
      
      
    What We Offer:
      

    • A competitive salary
    • A minimum of 25 days’ annual leave plus office closure between Christmas and New Year.
    • Employee Pension Scheme and Death in Service benefit (3x basic salary).
