Onboarding Assistant
Location: Stroud or Gloucester
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours, 9am – 5pm
Start Date: ASAP
Are you organised, detail-oriented, and motivated by delivering a smooth and professional client experience from the very start? At Redkite Solicitors, we’re looking for an Onboarding Assistant to join our Residential Conveyancing Onboarding Team, supporting the efficient and consistent onboarding of all residential property matters.
In this role, you will support the early stages of the client onboarding process by helping to make sure everything is set up smoothly before work begins on a client’s matter. Working closely with the Onboarding Specialists, you’ll play an important part in keeping things running efficiently, supporting fee earners, and helping to create a positive and reassuring experience for every client.
Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full-service law firm, we are driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we are proud to be recognised as an employer of choice, with a number of our lawyers recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers, reflecting the strength and quality of our expertise. Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.
Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.
What Will You Be Doing?
* Kickstart every client journey – Send out onboarding packs and relevant links promptly, setting the tone for a clear and positive start for every client.
* Keep the momentum going – Stay on top of incoming documents, anticipate next steps, and use professional, courteous phone calls to keep the process moving.
* Be the guardian of quality – Support essential checks by carrying out searches and due diligence tasks, helping to make sure all information is accurate and compliant.
* Set files up for success – Organise and prepare onboarding documentation so every matter is ready for a smooth handover.
* Create a standout client experience – Communicate with warmth and professionalism, making every interaction feel supportive and well-guided.
* Work together to win – Collaborate closely with colleagues across the onboarding and legal teams to deliver a seamless, efficient service.
* Stay on top of it all – Keep trackers and systems updated, ensuring full visibility and control across onboarding matters.
* Be a valued team player – Take responsibility for essential administrative duties and contribute to a well organised, compliant document trail.
Requirements
Who We’re Looking For
* Willingness to learn – Keen to develop knowledge of onboarding processes and compliance requirements such as anti-money laundering and source-of-funds checks.
* Some awareness of legal or administrative processes – Any exposure to residential conveyancing, or onboarding is helpful, but not essential.
* Strong organisation and attention to detail – Able to handle tasks accurately and keep work well-structured.
* Process-driven – Comfortable following clear steps and procedures.
* Confident and client focused communicator – Friendly and professional when speaking with clients and colleagues, prioritising clarity, responsiveness and a positive experience in every interaction.

* Digitally proficient – Confident using IT systems; experience with case management systems is a bonus.
* Team player – Happy to support colleagues and contribute to a collaborative, supportive team environment.
