At Riverside, we’re a housing association with a difference – enhancing the everyday for all our customers. For 90 years, we’ve been revitalising neighbourhoods and supporting communities by providing the homes they need to live full and rewarding lives.

We have a portfolio of over 75,000 affordable residential and retirement homes across the UK and our work ranges from homelessness services to social care, employment support to retirement living. With so much to do, we need the very best people on board to help us. 

Our legal team advise and support the business so we can better look after our customers – and this is hopefully where you come in. 

[JD] 

You will need excellent employment law knowledge and expertise, whether gained in private practice or an in-house role, and an ability to apply that knowledge within a large and varied  organisation and provide pragmatic, commercial advice. Whilst your role will cover largely contentious employment law (including some tribunal advocacy), a full range of issues arise at Riverside and you should also be comfortable advising on non-contentious employment law, including TUPE and organisational design. 

We have a brilliantly flexible approach to work throughout Riverside and the Legal Team tend to head into the Speke office once a fortnight, (currently Wednesdays). You are of course welcome to work from the office more if you’d like to. You’ll be working alongside another part time senior employment solicitor and our external legal advisors. The whole legal team (and People Services who you’ll work with closely) are wonderfully supportive and friendly.

Apart from a competitive salary and a great working environment, we also offer:

• Generous pension contributions
• 28 days holidays plus bank holidays (raising to 33 with service) (pro-rated)
• Free parking at our Speke Head Office
• A wide range of benefits including employee assistance programme, life assurance and employee discount scheme on a range of products from holidays to your everyday shopping
• Enhanced family friendly leave and flexible working options

We are inclusive at Riverside and truly value diversity in all its forms. We foster a workplace where all individuals are respected, empowered, and heard and the only criterion we use to select new colleagues is whether they can do the role and do it well. 

If you think you have the skills and experience to add something valuable to our team and if you’re looking for an opportunity to apply your employment law knowledge and experience to make a real difference, then Riverside could be the place you’ve been looking for.
