About the Role:

We are currently recruiting for a Conveyancing Assistant to join a well-established legal practice based in Gloucester. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to establish themselves within a long-term legal support role. Previous conveyancing experience would be ideal; however, candidates with previous legal experience or graduates looking to develop a career within a legal assistant position will also be considered.

The successful candidate will work closely alongside a newly qualified Conveyancer, providing day-to-day support across their residential conveyancing caseload. The position will involve a mixture of conveyancing administration and secretarial duties, with additional training provided where required.

The firm is looking for someone with a positive working attitude who is keen to build their knowledge and experience while remaining within an assistant position for the foreseeable future. Longer-term progression opportunities may become available, but the immediate requirement is for someone who is happy to develop and become an established member of the team in a support capacity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Providing day-to-day administrative and secretarial support to a Conveyancer
• Supporting with client onboarding and checking identification documentation
• Preparing correspondence and relevant conveyancing documentation
• Assisting with the administration and organisation of residential conveyancing files

• Liaising professionally with clients, estate agents and other relevant parties
• Maintaining accurate and organised client records and documentation
• Providing general administrative and conveyancing support to the wider team

Skills & Requirements:

• Previous conveyancing experience would be advantageous but is not essential
• Legal graduates or candidates with previous legal experience will be considered
• Graduates looking to establish themselves within a long-term legal assistant role are encouraged to apply
• Strong administration and organisational skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Confident communicating with clients and colleagues
• Positive working attitude with a willingness to learn
• Comfortable working in a support-focused and secretarial position
• Looking for a long-term assistant role rather than immediate progression into a fee-earning position
• Formal conveyancing qualifications are not essential, with additional training available where required

Pay & Benefits:

• £26,500 - £28,000 per annum
• 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Option to purchase an additional 3 days of annual leave per year
• Company pension scheme
• Discretionary company bonus scheme based on individual and business performance
• Company social events including Christmas parties and mid-year events
• Training and support provided
• Opportunity for longer-term career development and progression

Additional Information:

• This is a fully office-based position with no hybrid or remote working available
• Further training can be provided for the successful candidate
• The initial interview stage will be an informal telephone or Microsoft Teams conversation
• Successful candidates will then attend an in-person interview with the team they would be working alongside
