Assistant Head of Residential Conveyancing

Banbury | Full-Time | 5+ Years' PQE | Up to £65,000

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Residential Property Solicitor or Conveyancer ready to step into a leadership role without losing the fee-earning side of the job?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an established residential property team in Banbury, supporting the Head of Department with the day-to-day running, development and performance of the team, while continuing to manage your own caseload.

This would suit a senior conveyancer who enjoys mentoring others, getting involved in business development and taking more responsibility within a department.

The Role

You'll have a varied role combining team management, technical support and fee earning, including:

  • Supporting the Head of Department with day-to-day team management.
  • Supporting junior colleagues with complex matters and technical queries.
  • Conducting performance and file reviews.
  • Helping with training, development plans and mentoring.
  • Managing your own busy residential caseload.
  • Handling sales, purchases, transfers of equity, shared ownership and leasehold matters.
  • Supporting departmental business development and networking activities.
  • Working towards agreed targets and KPIs.
  • Assisting with complaints and risk management where required.
  • Ensuring compliance with AML, CQS and Lexcel requirements.
  • Representing the department at meetings when required.
  • Leading the team in the absence of the Head of Department.

About You

We're looking for a senior residential conveyancer with:

  • 5+ years' PQE or equivalent experience as a Solicitor, CILEX or CLC.
  • Strong experience across a broad residential conveyancing caseload.
  • Previous experience supervising, mentoring or developing junior team members.
  • Strong technical knowledge of residential conveyancing and CQS requirements.
  • Excellent client care and communication skills.
  • Good commercial awareness and understanding of KPIs.
  • Confidence contributing to business development and networking.
  • Strong organisation and the ability to work independently.
  • Good knowledge of AML, SRA requirements and data protection.
  • Experience with case management systems and Microsoft Office.
  • Full driving licence and access to a car.

What's on Offer?

Alongside a salary of up to £65,000, you'll benefit from:

  • Career progression into a senior leadership position
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Professional development and training
  • Opportunity to mentor and develop junior colleagues
  • Involvement in business development and networking
  • Established residential property team
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact on departmental growth
  • Competitive benefits package
