Conveyancing Paralegal
- Join a stable, growing conveyancing team with no chaos
- Support high-quality residential work without the pressure of running your own files
- Genuine long-term role with progression into fee-earning if you want it
This Stoke-on-Trent-based role is part of a planned expansion within the residential property team. The focus is on strengthening support around fee-earners so they can continue delivering high-quality work without the pressure of volume-led environments.
In your first few months, you’ll get fully embedded in how the team operates, supporting on live files, handling onboarding tasks, assisting with searches and documentation, and getting to grips with systems and processes. You’ll be supported, but expected to be organised, proactive and reliable from the outset.
By 12 months, you’ll be a trusted part of the team, handling routine tasks confidently, supporting multiple matters at once, and helping keep files progressing smoothly. There’s no rush to push you into fee-earning, but there is scope to grow into running your own files over time if that’s your goal.
The team works in a calm, collaborative way. It’s not a high-volume factory environment; people communicate openly, support each other, and take pride in doing the job properly.
If you’re looking for a conveyancing role where you can build solid experience in a supportive setting (without being thrown in at the deep end), this strikes the right balance.
Who we’re looking for
- Previous experience in residential conveyancing
- Familiarity with conveyancing processes (sales, purchases, remortgages)
- Background in a law firm or conveyancing environment
- Strong organisation and attention to detail
- Confident communicator, both written and verbal
- Comfortable working to deadlines and managing multiple tasks
- Team player who is approachable and willing to learn
- Interest in developing longer-term within conveyancing (Desired)
What you’ll be doing
- Supporting fee-earners on residential conveyancing matters
- Assisting with file opening and client onboarding
- Preparing documents and handling routine correspondence
- Carrying out searches and supporting transaction progress
- Managing post-completion tasks
- Liaising with clients, agents, lenders and third parties
- Keeping case management systems accurate and up to date
Salary & Benefits
- £25,000 – £30,000 depending on experience
- Stable, long-term role within an independent firm
- Hybrid working available
- Supportive, team-based environment with sensible workloads
- Opportunity to progress into fee-earning over time
- Free or discounted legal services
- On-site parking
- Friendly, professional culture with low staff turnover
