Float Conveyancer

Hybrid Office / Homeworking
Full and Part time opportunities available

Salary: £21,188.80 (£10.866 per hour).

Are you looking to work in a technology driven, modern workforce who embraces change?

Are you looking to work alongside people who are the key drivers and ambassadors of the firm?

Are you looking to have the all-important work life balance with the ability to work a hybrid of home / office based working (as a minimum you should expect to work in the office one day per fortnight to attend training etc).

The culture which has been created by my client is one which promotes approachability, understanding, supportiveness, teamwork and individual personal development with a keen interest in what makes their people tick and actively encourage them to spend time with family and friends outside of a working environment.

The company ‘Real People’ campaign focuses on their key people outside of their working environment. Understanding their people provides an excellent work relationship between the senior management team and the staff, providing a fantastic support network and friendly environment.

Duties to include:

To provide float support to three small fee earning teams, you will be responsible for covering the nominated case handler’s files during periods of holidays / absence; such working being directed by the Operations Manager in advance of any booked leave.

Main responsibilities to include:

• raising enquiries
• issuing contracts
• obtaining searches and processing them
• keeping the clients and files up to date, ensuring good housekeeping.
• Processing mortgage offers

You will be responsible for responding to the case handler’s emails, and making phone calls where necessary, during periods of planned holiday or unplanned absences to ensure matters are progressed as though the case handler were in the office.

During this period, you will be the first port of call for the absence case handler until such time as they return to work. You will be responsible for:

• filing all correspondence on the firm’s filing system.
• ensuring the task list is kept up to date on the firm’s case management system e.g. updating searches, enquiries etc. in order that the case handler is fully appraised of what has happened on live matters during the period of absence;
• assisting with the capturing information / data and uploading it on to the firm’s case management system.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• experience of leasehold / freehold and registered / unregistered property work;
• experience of a case management system.
• full proficiency in Microsoft packages
• excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• a positive approach towards client care
• an emphasis on management of quality
• an emphasis on teamwork
• the ability to embrace new technology.

If you have previously worked in a fee earning / case handling role and are looking to provide more of an arms’ length role in conveyancing, then this role could be ideal for you.
