Job Description - Wills and Probate Locum

Role: Private Client Locum
Location: Reading some Hybrid 2 days a week from home
Rate: £45 to £55 per hour
Duration: 2-3 months minimum


Alright folks, Rob Addy here from CRA Consulting - the Sheffield-born, tea-fuelled legal recruiter who never buries the headline. ??
I've just had a cracking call with a top-flight practice in Reading. They need an experienced Private Client Solicitor / Legal Exec to parachute in for the summer and keep the wheels turning while a partner nips off on sabbatical.

The Nuts & BoltsWhatDetailContract2-3 months (could roll on)Rate£45-£55 per hour (Ltd / umbrella / PAYE - your choice)StartAs soon as we can get the paperwork signedFlex3 days in their shiny town-centre office (2-minute stroll from the station), 2 days at home in your slippers
Day-to-Day

  • Running a tidy mix of wills, probate, estates, LPAs, CoP - no hand-holding required.

  • Client meetings in person or on Teams - you choose.

  • Liaising with HMRC, counsel, IFAs and the odd worried nephew.

  • Keeping immaculate notes so the perm team don't play "Where's that file?" when they're back.
What They're After

  • Qualified Solicitor or CILEx Lawyer with a good 5+ PQE in Private Client.

  • Comfortable flying solo and billing without drama.

  • STEP fancy letters? Great. Not got 'em? No sweat if your experience speaks for itself.

  • Able to pop into Reading three days a week - trains, bikes and scooters all welcome.
Why Bother?

  • Hourly rate is bang on for the South-East - no northern discount here, thank you.

  • Short, sharp boost to your diary (and your bank balance).

  • Hybrid setup means you still catch sports day / dog-walk / Netflix binge.

  • Firm's a Legal 500 name - nice line on your CV.

Fancy It?


Ping me your CV to this advert just drop "Reading Locum" on a text to and I'll ring you back quicker than you can say "train to Paddington". Interview slots are next week and they'll hire on the spot for the right person.Thanks Rob Addy CRA Consulting.
