About the Role:

We are currently recruiting for a Conveyancing Assistant to join a well-established legal practice based in Gloucester.

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.

• 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
