Student Loans Company Limited (“SLC”) is a non-profit making Government-owned organisation that provides loans and grants to students in universities and colleges in the UK. Since 1989, we have enabled our customers to invest in their futures by delivering secure, accurate and efficient assessment, payment and repayment services.
The Legal Services department, based at our new Clyde Place office in Glasgow, forms part of the Product, Customer and External Relations directorate and supports all areas of the SLC. As part of the continued investment by SLC in the Legal Services department, we are recruiting for additional roles to expand the team to enable it to continue to provide highly regarded legal advice and support to meet the needs of the business.
The range and nature of support which can be sought encompasses all matters which require legal advice.

While the successful candidates will be expected to have a particular area of subject matter expertise, they will also be required to provide legal advice on the full suite of legal matters applicable to SLC, both strategic and operational, under the direction of the Company Secretary and Senior Manager: Legal Services, thus helping to ensure that SLC operates within its regulatory framework and meets its statutory obligations.
