Residential Conveyancer (NQ – 1 Year PQE)
Sawston | Saffron Walden
9:00am – 5:00pm
Newly Qualified / Junior Conveyancers – ready for a firm that will develop you, not just use you?
If you’re qualified and already handling your own conveyancing files, but want a firm where you can build confidence, deepen your expertise, and be properly supported — this is a rare opportunity.
I’m working with a highly respected regional law firm known for its exceptional culture, long-standing team, and genuine investment in junior talent.
-----------------------------------
Why This Role Is Different
This is not a “sink or swim” environment.
You’ll be trusted with your own caseload
But also supported, mentored, and developed
With approachable partners and an experienced team around you
Perfect for someone who has started their career but wants to grow in the right environment.
-----------------------------------
The Role
You’ll join a busy Residential Conveyancing team, managing your own caseload from instruction through to completion, with support where needed.
You should already have experience handling:
* Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
* Transfers of equity
* General residential transactions
* Exposure to new builds or shared ownership is a bonus
-----------------------------------
✅ What They’re Looking For
* Qualified Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer, or Legal Executive (NQ – 1 year PQE)
* Proven experience managing your own caseload (including pre-qualification)
* Solid grounding in residential conveyancing
* Someone keen to learn, develop, and stay long-term
-----------------------------------
The Culture (Why People Don’t Leave)
In a market full of pressure and burnout, this firm offers something genuinely different:
* 9am – 5pm working hours
* Proper 1-hour lunch breaks (encouraged!)
* No expectation to work beyond your hours
* No aggressive billing targets or bonus pressure
* Flexible working options
Staff retention is exceptional
Some team members have stayed 20–40+ years
Known internally as “the best place we’ve worked”
