What it's like to work here

We’re bigger than you think, more complex than it appears, and larger in scale than you might imagine. We’ve got dedicated people across all our teams with more we want to achieve. We’re for ever, for everyone, and we truly mean that. We aim to grow beyond 5.5 million members and want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy access to the places we look after.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon, with an expectation to attend the office 5 days a week.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be involved in all aspects of our legal and governance work, from undertaking background research in our deeds to assisting with legal transactions.

Known for your organizational skills and collaborative approach, you’ll provide comprehensive support to the legal and governance team. This includes maintaining filing systems, formatting documents, researching queries related to Trust property, conducting legal searches for property transactions, and liaising with the land registry regarding land transactions.

You’ll proactively identify and implement improvements to systems and processes, confidently challenging the status quo when you see a better way of doing things.

• Able to handle cases with confidentiality
• Confident in written and verbal communication
• Able to multi-task and prioritize workloads
• Organized with keen attention to detail
