Home to work that matters, and you can be a part of it.

The successful candidate will provide essential administrative and organisational support to the Taylor Wimpey legal team, working across disputes, commercial transactions, operational matters, compliance and data protection. This role will be critical in ensuring the smooth running of legal processes, supporting the group legal team to maintain high standards of compliance and service delivery.

There is scope in this role to gain some degree of experience of legal issues by directly supporting and liaising with colleagues across Taylor Wimpey on more routine legal issues under supervision from the legal team and using our in-house templates and guidance. This should be seen as a potential opportunity for an interested candidate, rather than a requirement of the role.
