This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team with a competitive salary, brilliant benefits, and colleagues who don't bite (unless you take the last biscuit in the tin).
About You
* At least 2 years' experience in a similar legal role, with a good grasp of conveyancing processes and procedures.
* Bonus points if you've wrangled Tikit/Partner for Windows before (and lived to tell the tale).
* Excellent client care skills, a genuine enthusiasm for helping people, and organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud.
* Comfortable with modern IT systems, audio and copy typing, and diary management (because who doesn't love a well-planned calendar?).
* Able to multi-task, prioritise like a pro, and keep cool under pressure.
* High attention to detail and complete confidentiality are an absolute must.
What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. Making Magic Happen):
* Handling a full range of admin tasks - from opening files and drafting contract packs, to dealing with exchanges, final searches, SDLT and AP1 submissions.
* Managing calls and providing updates to clients, estate agents, lenders and solicitors (yes, sometimes all in one afternoon).
* Keeping files compliant, responding to Land Registry requisitions, and even tackling some dictation along the way.
What's In It For You?
* Competitive salary
* 25 days' annual leave + Bank Holidays (plus the office closes between Christmas and New Year)
* Hybrid working options (role-dependent)
* Salary sacrifice pension scheme with 5% matching contribution
* Life assurance & Group Income Protection
* BUPA cashback plan & Private Medical Insurance
* Enhanced Family Friendly policies (because family matters)
* Employee Assistance Programme (including GP consultations)
* Funded professional subscriptions & support towards qualifications
* Employee referral scheme (yes, you get rewarded for knowing people)
* Volunteering programme & plenty of social events - from summer BBQs to the Christmas party
