Recruitment Spring/Summer 2024

• They are recruiting salaried Judges across 4 of our regions in May 2024.
• They are also expecting a competition for fee paid Judges to be launched in April to June 2024.

All competitions are run by the Judicial Appointments Commission.

Our Work

They currently have over 230 jurisdictions, and handle applications and appeals relating to a wide range of residential property disputes, including:

• Leasehold management and enfranchisement disputes
• Rents cases and Park Homes disputes
• Housing Act 2004 and Housing and Planning Act 2016 appeals and applications
• Building Safety Act 2022 applications.

Our Judges

We have a small team of salaried Judges, drawn from both branches of the profession, and rely on fee paid Judges and members to hear most of our cases.  We are particularly interested in encouraging applications from women, people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. We would also welcome applications from Chartered Legal Executive Lawyers to broaden our professional base.

The Event

They are holding a careers event on 9 April 2024 at our London offices.  You will hear from senior judges including Siobhan McGrath (Chamber President) and Tim Powell (Regional Judge, London Region). We will be joined by Brie Stephens-Hoare KC, representing the Judicial Appointments Commission.  They will talk you through their roles and the Tribunal’s work, give you a brief career history and tips to successfully navigate the application process.  We will then allow plenty of time for questions.

In-person numbers are limited, so if you would like to attend please contact propertychambersupport@judiciary.uk as soon as possible (and in any event by 5 April 2024).  Please state your name, practice background and whether you would prefer to come in person or would like to be sent a link to join remotely. It would help if you could indicate where you are based geographically. We will do our best to accommodate your preferred means of attendance.

We look forward to meeting you!
