Residential Conveyancer – Team Leader
We are recruiting an experienced Conveyancer to join our Residential Conveyancing team on a full-time basis working in our Kingswood office.
You will be dealing with a range of residential property transactions (including sales, purchases, transfers and remortgages) and will be well supported by a Paralegal and Legal Secretary. We focus on high-quality service over quantity of transactions and do not have a ‘high volume’ business model.
Our team has established connections with local estate agents, and we are therefore looking for someone who is engaged and confident with networking and other marketing/business development activities.
The wider Residential Conveyancing team is among the biggest in Bristol, spanning four of our five offices. Our department is highly regarded and we frequently receive excellent reviews on Google and Review Solicitors.
The role

• Management of the Kingswood Conveyancing team to include hosting a weekly team meeting and monthly 121s with all team members plus Personal Development Reviews in October and April.
• Monthly 121 meetings with the joint Head of Department.
• Attendance at quarterly team departmental meetings.
• HR team responsibilities for office team members (for example, recruitment, return to work meetings, probation reviews).
• Technical queries from the office team in conjunction with relevant team leaders and HoDs.
• Training of junior staff in conjunction with relevant team leaders and HoDs.
• Holiday management of the office team members.
• Management of an efficient triage system for new work within the team.
• Undertaking any marketing and or business development work for the team and/or the department as required and attending any relevant meetings.
  Any other reasonable duties as directed by the Head of Department.
  Please note, we are not currently working with agencies for the recruitment of this role.
