Job Description

Are you ready for a role where your expertise truly shapes the future of a respected conveyancing department? This Senior Conveyancer opportunity offers you the autonomy to build new systems, establish high standards, and leave a lasting mark in a supportive, professional environment in Worthing.

What's in it for you?

Lead and shape your own department: Start from a clean slate – no backlog, no dysfunctional systems.
Genuine autonomy: Design workflows and set quality standards your way.
Quality over quantity: Sensible caseloads mean you focus on doing the job right, not ticking boxes in a ‘volume factory’.
Supportive culture: Calm, non-chaotic environment with strong relationships across local agents and a hands-on, fair Principal who fully supports you.
Competitive senior salary: £55,000–£70,000 depending on experience, plus an attractive performance-related bonus
Long-term growth potential: Be a key leader as the department grows.

The Role

You will lead the rebuild of a modern, efficient conveyancing team. From day one, you’ll have the freedom and support to run residential conveyancing matters, shape new workflows, and build your own team. There’s a true balance here – leadership, hands-on casework, and commercial acumen, all with no inherited problems.

Running and supervising residential conveyancing files (freehold, leasehold, new build, lender work)
Designing and improving workflows and templates
Ensuring compliance and managing risk within the department
Building positive relationships with estate agents and clients
Recruiting and mentoring future support staff as the department grows
Reporting directly to the Principal

What we're looking for:

A minimum of 5 years’ PQE in residential conveyancing
Qualified Solicitor or CILEx Lawyer
Proven ability across a variety of transaction types
Strong commercial awareness – you understand throughput and viability
Organised, process-driven, calm and steady communicator
Confidence and professionalism, with no perfectionist bottlenecks or drama
Ready to lead, not just fee-earn
This is a senior leadership role, not a “quality-only” low-volume position
Typical caseload: 35–45 active matters, supported by administration staff
Clear autonomy to run the department, balanced with accountability for commercial results

What's on Offer?

25 days holiday plus bank holidays and a Christmas closure
Workplace pension at 3% on qualifying earnings
Generous discretionary bonus scheme
Permanent, full-time position with immediate start available
Competitive salary: £55,000–£70,000 depending on experience and client following
Bonus scheme and long-term progression as the team growsIf you’re an experienced conveyancer ready to take control of your next career chapter – without inheriting chaos or compromise – this is your chance.
