Conveyancing Secretary/Paralegal

We are looking to recruit a Conveyancing Secretary/Paralegal for an exciting opportunity with a highly regarded law firm in Bromsgrove.

The successful candidate will provide direct support to the Head of Property Services and work alongside her throughout the residential conveyancing process but will not run their own caseload or work in a fee earning capacity.

You will assist with the drafting of SDLTs, replies to requisitions and Transfer Deeds, dealing with basic enquiries, producing case management letters and dealing with all AML on-boarding procedures. Further responsibilities include opening and closing files, speaking with agents and clients over the telephone to provide updates.

Excellent telephone, inter-personal and typing skills are required and you must be able to prioritise work in a confidential, timely and effective manner using a high degree of self-management and initiative. Being able to work to tight deadlines is also essential as this is a very busy department, as is the ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.

Strong IT skills using Microsoft Office and case management systems are also essential

Benefits include off-site parking a short walk away from the office, 21 days’ annual leave in addition to statutory and Bank Holidays, and company pension enrolment.
