Location: Wokingham

We're on the lookout for a full-time Legal Assistant to join a busy and growing Residential Conveyancing team in Reading. You'll be working alongside experienced Solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers, supporting them on a varied caseload across all things property.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team with a competitive salary, brilliant benefits, and colleagues who don't bite (unless you take the last biscuit in the tin).

About You
At least 2 years' experience in a similar legal role, with a good grasp of conveyancing processes and procedures.
Bonus points if you've wrangled Tikit/Partner for Windows before (and lived to tell the tale).
Excellent client care skills, a genuine enthusiasm for helping people, and organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud.
Comfortable with modern IT systems, audio and copy typing, and diary management (because who doesn't love a well-planned calendar?).
Able to multi-task, prioritise like a pro, and keep cool under pressure.
High attention to detail and complete confidentiality are an absolute must.

What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. Making Magic Happen):
Handling a full range of admin tasks - from opening files and drafting contract packs, to dealing with exchanges, final searches, SDLT and AP1 submissions.
Managing calls and providing updates to clients, estate agents, lenders and solicitors (yes, sometimes all in one afternoon).
Keeping files compliant, responding to Land Registry requisitions, and even tackling some dictation along the way.

What's In It For You?
Competitive salary
25 days' annual leave + Bank Holidays (plus the office closes between Christmas and New Year)
Hybrid working options (role-dependent)
Salary sacrifice pension scheme with 5% matching contribution
Life assurance & Group Income Protection
BUPA cashback plan & Private Medical Insurance
Enhanced Family Friendly policies (because family matters)
Employee Assistance Programme (including GP consultations)
Funded professional subscriptions & support towards qualifications
Employee referral scheme (yes, you get rewarded for knowing people)
Volunteering programme & plenty of social events - from summer BBQs to the Christmas party

If you're organised, client-focused, and looking to take the next step in your career with a team that works hard but has a laugh along the way, we'd love to hear from you.
