The Role

As the lead for the new office, you will have the autonomy to help shape how the department operates, build relationships within the local community and play a key role in the firm’s continued growth.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Managing your own caseload of residential conveyancing matters from instruction through to completion.
• Acting as the lead point of contact for the Abercynon office.

• Building strong relationships with clients, introducers and local contacts.

• Working closely with the wider firm and existing teams.
• Identifying opportunities to grow the department and generate new business.
• Taking genuine ownership of the success and development of the office.

About You

The firm is open to candidates from 5+ years PQE through to experienced Heads of Department, provided you have a strong residential conveyancing background and the ambition to take ownership of a new office.

You Will Ideally Have

• At least 5 years’ PQE in residential conveyancing.
• Strong technical knowledge across a broad range of residential property matters.
• Proven experience managing your own caseload with minimal supervision.
• The confidence to work autonomously and take ownership.
• Strong client‑facing and business development skills.
• Previous management or leadership experience would be advantageous, but is not essential.
• A genuine interest in building something from the ground up.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £60,000, depending on experience.
• The opportunity to become the lead of a brand‑new office.
• Significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the department.
• A role combining fee earning, leadership and business development.
• Support from an established and well‑respected high street firm.
• A clear and direct pathway to Directorship for the right individual.
• The opportunity to build and develop your own team as the office grows.
• The chance to establish yourself as a key figure within the firm’s new Abercynon operation.

This isn’t simply a conveyancing position within a new office, you will be the person leading it!

The firm already has an established reputation and infrastructure behind it, but is looking for someone with the ambition and drive to make the Abercynon office a success.
