Paralegal

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Paralegal to join our team within a highly reputable firm of Conveyancers based in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive and ambitious individual who is looking to build a long-term career in conveyancing. This is not a traditional support role. As a Paralegal, you will be trusted to take ownership of your own caseload from instruction through to completion, with guidance and supervision from experienced Fee Earners where required.

You will play an important role in delivering a high-quality, efficient and client-focused service, while continuing to develop your technical expertise in a supportive and progressive environment.

We are committed to developing talent from within. Many of our Paralegals have progressed into Fee Earner roles, supported by mentoring, funded qualifications and dedicated study time. For the right person, this is a genuine opportunity to grow with the business and take the next step in your conveyancing career.

The Role

As a Paralegal, you will be responsible for managing your own conveyancing caseload from instruction to completion, with support and supervision when needed.

Your duties will include:

• Managing your own conveyancing files with full supervision
• Acting as a main point of contact for clients, estate agents and third parties
• Drafting legal documents, contracts and correspondence
• Carrying out Land Registry searches and submitting applications
• Requesting and reviewing property searches from external providers
• Progressing files efficiently and in line with deadlines
• Maintaining accurate records using the firm’s case management system
• Liaising with Fee Earners for guidance on more complex matters

This role offers real responsibility from the outset, while ensuring you have the support and mentoring needed to continue developing your skills.

The Candidate

We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and committed to delivering excellent client service.

Suitable applicants will ideally have previous experience in conveyancing, whether as a Paralegal, Assistant or in a similar role, although this is not essential. A key requirement for this position is demonstrable excellence in customer care, with strong communication skills and the ability to build confidence with clients and colleagues alike.

You should be:

• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail
• Confident managing your own workload and progressing matters independently
• Comfortable working to deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Professional, friendly and client-focused
• Confident using IT systems, including case management systems and Microsoft Office
• Accurate in your typing and document production
• A team player who is comfortable seeking guidance when required
• Keen to learn, develop and progress your career in conveyancing

The Company

At Bespoke Law Services, we are proud of our friendly, supportive and people-first culture.

We believe in helping our team members grow and reach their full potential. Whether you are looking to strengthen your existing conveyancing experience or take the next step towards becoming a qualified professional, you will be joining a firm that is committed to training, mentoring and progression.

You will be part of a close-knit team that cares about delivering excellent service and supporting each other to achieve the best outcomes for our clients.

The Package

This role comes with an excellent package including:

• Competitive salary depending on experience
• Genuine progression opportunities to Fee Earner level
• Ongoing training, mentoring and support
• Support with conveyancing qualifications
• Company pension
• Employee mentoring programme
• Company events

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Location: Office-based, Haywards Heath

Experience: Customer service experience preferred

If you are ready to take on real responsibility, develop your skills and build a rewarding long-term career in conveyancing, we would love to hear from you.
