Job description

My client, a respected full-service Legal 500 law firm, is seeking a Conveyancing Assistant to join their dynamic and high-achieving property team based in Preston.

Are you looking to embed yourself in a busy, thriving residential conveyancing team? Here's your chance to support talented property lawyers in a role where every day brings variety, growth, and plenty of opportunity to sharpen your skills.

With an ever-growing client base and a buzzing pipeline of instructions, this role is perfect for someone eager to develop their conveyancing expertise within a friendly, forward-thinking firm that truly values its people.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Supporting fee earners across all residential conveyancing matters: sales, purchases, leasehold, freehold, and everything in between
• Handling key admin tasks-think preparing legal docs, chasing searches, and keeping the wheels turning between clients, agents, and solicitors
• Getting involved with shared ownership, new build projects, remortgages, and equity cases when needed
• Keeping case files up to date and making sure documentation meets all legal and firm standards
• Providing top-notch client service with clear, professional communication
• Being a team player who's organised, proactive, and ready to pitch in where it counts

Who You Are:

• Ideally you've clocked up at least a year in a conveyancing assistant, legal secretary, or similar role
• You know the ins and outs of residential conveyancing and legal admin like the back of your hand
• Your communication skills are spot on, both written and verbal, and you're always client-focused
• You're a master organiser who thrives juggling multiple priorities without breaking a sweat
• Detail is your middle name-accuracy and confidentiality are non-negotiable
• You're comfortable with tech-case management systems and Microsoft Office are in your toolkit

What's In It For You?

• Competitive salary between £24,000 and £28,000, plus a bonus scheme that rewards your hard work
• Hybrid working model, blending office time with flexible home working initially tailored to your experience
• A range of extra perks to keep you motivated
• A structured learning path, ongoing development, and clear steps to progress your conveyancing career
• A supportive team culture where your growth matters, housed in a modern and ambitious firm
