Ready to take the next step in your post-completion career?
At PLS Solicitors, our Senior Post Completion Assistants play a vital role in keeping transactions moving after completion. This is a step-up opportunity for an experienced post-completion professional who’s confident managing Land Registry applications and requisitions and is ready to take on more responsibility, complexity and ownership.
You’ll be joining a supportive, high-performing team where post-completion is recognised as a specialist, technical function – not an afterthought. With increasing work volumes, we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running and become a trusted senior point of contact within the team.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Senior Post Completion Assistant, you’ll manage post-completion matters from start to finish, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timeliness across a high-volume caseload. Your responsibilities will include:
* Preparing and submitting all types of Land Registry applications
* Dealing confidently with Land Registry requisitions and technical queries
* Amending documentation and ensuring accurate scanning and filing
* Registering charges with Companies House within strict statutory timeframes
* Liaising with clients, lenders, HM Land Registry, solicitors and third parties
* Acting as a senior point of contact for post-completion queries and escalations
* Supporting and mentoring junior and mid-level post-completion team members
* Assisting with workload allocation, prioritisation and inbox management
* Escalating complex matters where appropriate to ensure risks are managed
What We’re Looking For
This role requires established post-completion experience and the confidence to deal with technical work independently.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
* Significant experience in a post-completion role (minimum 6 months’ established experience post-training/probation)
* Strong working knowledge of Land Registry processes and applications
* Experience handling requisitions and understanding what to expect, even if you haven’t seen every scenario
* Experience with a broad range of case types is preferred – experience with New Build transactions is essential
* Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage a busy, time-sensitive caseload
* Confidence using case management systems and the Land Registry Portal
* A professional, confident approach to phone-based queries and escalations
* The ability to support and mentor less experienced team members
* Experience with systems such as InfoTrack is desirable but not essential
Why Join PLS?
* Clear progression: This role is a key development step for those aiming to move into senior or legal roles in the future
* Study support: Once you’ve been with us for a year, we’ll support you with professional qualifications to help you continue developing your legal knowledge and career
* Supportive environment: You’ll be trusted to get on with your work, while still being fully supported by an experienced management team
* Specialist focus: Post-completion is treated as a critical, technical function – your expertise genuinely matters
* Stability & investment: We’re committed to finding the right person and will wait for the right fit
What You’ll Get in Return
* 20 days holiday (rising by one day for each year of service, up to 25) + Bank Holidays, with buy/carry over options
* Employee benefits: death in service, healthcare plan, EAP, counselling, and salary sacrifice schemes (tech, nursery, gym, cycle, car)
* Extras: free conveyancing, mortgage advice, staff discounts, free Uber to/from Navigation Rd Station
If you’re looking for a role where your post-completion knowledge is recognised, valued and developed – and where you can genuinely take the next step in your career – we’d love to hear from you.
