Job description

Residential Property Solicitor / Licensed Conveyancer

Bedford | £40,000 – £50,000 | 1-5 Years PQE

An excellent opportunity for a Residential Property Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer to join a growing law firm in Bedford, offering the chance to play an important role in the continued development of an expanding residential property team.

Following the recent opening of a new Bedford office, the firm is in a strong position for further growth, with an established client base and plans to continue expanding across its offices and practice areas. This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants more than just another fee-earning role, with genuine scope to take on additional responsibility, help shape a growing team and progress into a potential Team Leader position.

The firm has a genuinely down-to-earth and supportive culture, with a great group of people across its offices. It is known for being an understanding and fair employer, with regular social events and a positive working environment.

The Role

You will handle a varied residential property caseload, covering general fee-earning work alongside some supervision and support of other team members.

The Bedford office currently has a residential property team of around five to six people, with further appointments planned as the office continues to grow. Working closely with the Partner, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility, mentor colleagues and potentially progress into a Team Leader role as the department develops.

This would suit someone who enjoys residential conveyancing, is comfortable managing their own caseload and is interested in having a greater influence within a growing team.

Requirements

• Qualified Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer.
• Up to around 5 years' PQE, although experience and ability are more important than level of seniority.
• Experience handling a general residential property caseload.
• Comfortable taking responsibility for files and providing support to colleagues.
• A personable, team-focused approach and an interest in developing alongside the firm.

The Benefits

• Salary of £40,000 – £50,000, depending on experience.
• Private healthcare
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Genuine opportunities for progression and increased responsibility.
• Potential to develop into a Team Leader position.
• Supportive, down-to-earth working environment.

This is a great opportunity to join a firm at an exciting stage of its development, where you can make a real contribution to the growth of the Bedford office while developing your own career.
