• Several years' experience handling residential conveyancing matters.
• Previous supervisory, team leader or management experience.
• Strong leadership and people management skills.
• Commercial awareness with a genuine passion for developing teams.
• Excellent client care and relationship-building abilities.
• Qualified Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer, CILEX Lawyer or an experienced non-qualified manager with the right leadership background.

• Hybrid working with genuine flexibility.
• Clear opportunity to influence the future of a growing department.

If you're an experienced Conveyancing professional looking for the next step in your career, or you're already leading a team and would like to hear about a genuine opportunity to shape a successful department, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
