About Sage Homes

Set up in 2017 and funded by Blackstone and Regis to help address the housing crisis in the UK, Sage Homes has now delivered more than 21,000 homes all of which are affordable. A further 2,500 new homes are in our construction pipeline.

Sage is proud to be England's largest provider of newly built affordable homes for five successive years, providing our customers with high-quality, energy efficient properties (98% of Sage homes are EPC A or B) to live in safe, secure and thriving communities.

At Sage Homes, we remain committed to our mission of making new homes affordable for those who need them most, while delivering great customer support.


About the role:

An opportunity has arisen for a post-graduate having completed a law degree or an alternate degree followed by a conversion to law, with relevant experience. The selected candidate will join our in-house legal team. The role will mainly focus on housing related litigation matters, but also in support of more general business needs where required.

Reporting to the Head of Legal, you will provide advice on a broad range of matters including possession proceedings based on disrepair claims, rent arrears, breach of tenancy, anti-social behaviour, unauthorised occupiers, injunction proceedings and claims against leaseholders including forfeiture and estate management related issues.

This role is based 3 days in our Northampton office and 2 days from home.

Key areas of focus:

  • Lead and coordinate external legal housing cases, ensuring smooth, efficient progression.
  • Deliver expert legal training to housing, lettings, income and homeownership teams.
  • Prepare high‑quality court documentation and support/undertake routine County Court advocacy.
  • Manage a diverse, fast‑paced caseload, including handling and defending disrepair claims.
  • Provide clear lease‑based advice and meet performance targets set by the Litigation Solicitor or Head of Legal.
About you
  • Qualified in Law (LLB or conversion route) with relevant housing/property litigation experience, ideally within social housing.
  • Strong problem‑solving skills, with essential expertise in housing disrepair.
  • Solid knowledge of Housing Law, court processes and Civil Procedure Rules.
  • Experience managing housing cases, including ASB, injunctions, possession and general landlord/tenant litigation.
  • Clear communicator with excellent organisation, able to prioritise and work independently or as part of a team.
  • Detail‑driven and proactive, able to meet deadlines and confident using Microsoft Word/Excel (training provided for specialist systems).

We are committed to ensuring you have the best career here at Sage. As well as regular support and guidance from your manager you can expect to receive a variety of learning and development opportunities to support you as you grow within our business. This includes internally and externally delivered development programmes and opportunities to study for professional accreditations and qualifications.

Culture and benefits:

At Sage Homes, we want to empower diverse, ambitious people to thrive. We are fast-paced and inclusive, and encourage our people to use their passion, curiosity and inventiveness to help us create safe places for our customers to flourish.

To make sure our colleagues feel welcome and cared for, we provide a suite of excellent benefits, including:

  • 25 days holiday, and an additional day for every year's service (up to five years)
  • Annual discretionary bonus scheme
  • A health cash plan, with financial support for a range of options including physiotherapy, opticians, dental and private online GP sessions
  • Study support package, helping you achieve your personal and professional development ambitions
  • Workplace Pension - matching personal contributions up to 5%
  • Cycle to Work scheme, helping you save up to 40% on a new bike and accessories
  • Electric car scheme, enabling you to rent a brand-new electric car at low-cost payments
  • Wellbeing support through MyndUp
  • Two days' paid volunteering leave a year, allowing you to support causes you care about
  • Charity fundraising support, with match-funding up to £1,000 for good causes
