Now is a superb time to join us, given this is a growing and strategic area for the Group and the UK economy. You would work closely with others in the team and report to the Head of Legal of SAML.

If you’re looking for a great opportunity to continue building your knowledge and develop your career, you can achieve your goals in this role. You’ll join a friendly, dedicated, value-adding legal team, who work hand in hand with our businesses to build great customer outcomes. About you You’re someone who will: Have a sound understanding and broad experience of real estate transactions, whether real estate joint ventures, housing, development, portfolio management and/or funding, and the curiosity to be involved in new and innovative transactions in these areas.

Background You must hold a current practising certificate in a relevant jurisdiction. Ideally you would have a minimum of 4 years post qualification experience in and a good understanding of the legal framework and market practices applying to real estate transactions, preferably gained through a mixture of private practice and in-house experience. However, if that is not quite the case, but you have relevant expertise, clearly transferable skills, and are serious about your development, we would be pleased to consider your application. We’ll support your growth with continuous training and development opportunities, regular feedback and career development conversations to help you fulfil your career potential, whatever your aspirations may be. About working for us We’re driven by a clear purpose - to Help Britain Prosper. We're passionate about making a difference to customers, businesses and communities.

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative, and it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know. We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes: A generous pension contribution of up to 15%. An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance. Share schemes including free shares. Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping. 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top. Wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies. If you like the idea of joining us, please do apply! You should include an up-to-date CV and a short covering letter explaining why you're suited to this role. We’d love to hear from you!
