The Citizens Advice services across Bury & Bolton are leading providers of advice and information, supporting thousands of clients every year. We are a busy, client-focused, and dynamic service with a track record of delivering high-quality advice.
We are now looking to recruit ambitious individuals to join our growing team of advisers and solicitors as part of a planned expansion of the Housing team running under a Legal Aid contract.
The team consists of 1 adviser and 2 solicitors with extensive housing litigation experience, a dedicated administrator, and a dedicated staff member responsible for the Legal Aid Financial Eligibility of each client, so that solicitors are fully supported in their role and can concentrate on the advice/litigation only.

* Possession Claims for rent arrears both private and social sectors
