• Building positive professional relationships through excellent client service

About You

We are looking for someone who is professional, organised and genuinely interested in developing a career within residential property. Previous conveyancing or legal experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential. Candidates with strong administrative, customer service or graduate backgrounds who can demonstrate a genuine interest in property law will also be considered. You will ideally have:

• A professional and client-focused approach
• The ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines

Career Development

This role offers excellent long-term progression opportunities. With the right development and support, there is scope to progress through the conveyancing team towards roles such as: Senior Conveyancing Assistant → Conveyancing Paralegal → Fee Earner. You will have access to structured training and a professional development plan, with potential study support available for relevant professional qualifications. This makes the role particularly suited to someone who is looking to establish a genuine career within residential conveyancing rather than simply seeking their next administrative position.

Benefits

The role comes with a strong benefits package, including:

• Competitive salary
• Quarterly bonus scheme
• Company pension
• Birthday leave
• Additional annual leave opportunities
• Cycle to Work scheme
