Teresa, Legal Assistant

In the Legal Team we have an extremely interesting and varied work load, but the best thing about Hastings is the people, it’s a very friendly working environment.

Pamela, Head of Legal

Having worked in London as a lawyer, I wondered what it would be like to work in Hastings’ Head Office on the sunny south coast! I’ve not been disappointed – we provide legal advice to every part of the business which means the work is very varied as much as it is fast-paced. My colleagues across the business have energy, talent and focus and are genuinely great people who support each other. Join us and you too will see that there’s a great collaborative approach and energy working with our colleagues here at Hastings which makes our job in Legal enjoyable and fun!
