Job description

The Senior Conveyancing Assistant position in Cirencester involves managing residential property transactions from inception to completion for a long-established legal firm. Your duties centre on process progression, preparing legal paperwork, and supporting fee earners, rather than purely secretarial work. Client and third-party liaison forms a core part of this role, requiring sharp organisational abilities.

Working full-time on a permanent basis, you will handle files independently while collaborating within the team.

The salary ranges from £33,000 to £34,000 per annum.

Applicants must demonstrate substantial conveyancing expertise and a proactive, methodical approach to case management.

This role suits a property professional seeking active involvement in moving transactions forward.

Do you have significant, proven experience of the conveyancing process£

Are you a quick thinking and organising property and conveyancing professional£

Are you looking to work for an expanding and long established, highly reputable legal firm in Gloucestershire£

The Cirencester branch of this professional firm is seeking an experienced Senior Conveyancing Assistant to join its busy Residential Property team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced legal property professional who enjoys being actively involved in the progression of property transactions rather than undertaking purely secretarial duties. Whilst the role includes preparing legal documentation and correspondence, the focus is on managing processes, supporting fee earners, liaising with clients and third parties, and ensuring residential property matters progress efficiently from instruction through to completion. The firm combines traditional professional values with a modern approach to client service, technology and team collaboration, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who is organised, proactive and confident working in a busy legal environment.

Importantly, we are seeking an efficient legal support professional who embraces technology and efficient ways of working. Although there is some audio typing and dictation work, this is not a role for someone looking to focus solely on that.
