Conveyancing Secretary / Paralegal Support

We are seeking an experienced Legal Secretary / Paralegal to join our conveyancing team and provide dedicated support to our experienced conveyancing paralegals.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with legal secretarial or property law experience who wants to become more involved in residential conveyancing, develop their knowledge and work closely with experienced conveyancing professionals — without the responsibility of managing their own files.

About Us

We pride ourselves on creating an easy-going, welcoming and supportive workplace where our people feel valued and have the opportunity to grow.  As a rapidly growing and progressive Practice, we are committed to investing in our staff and providing opportunities to develop both professionally and personally.  Our team works collaboratively, with experienced conveyancing paralegals supported by a dedicated administration and secretarial team. We value communication, teamwork, accountability and a commitment to doing things well.

The Position

The role will involve assisting with the day-to-day progression of files from commencement through to settlement and completion, including initial client contact, preparation of correspondence and documentation, file management, client communication and general support to ensure matters progress efficiently. 

You will work closely with experienced conveyancing paralegals and assist with the various administrative and legal requirements that arise throughout the life of a conveyancing matter. This will provide you with the opportunity to develop a strong practical understanding of residential conveyancing while working as part of a supportive team.

We are open to considering part-time hours for the right applicant, depending on experience and availability.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have previous experience as a legal secretary, legal assistant or paralegal, with experience in property law or conveyancing highly regarded. 

You will also have:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills;

• Excellent attention to detail;

• Strong organisational and time-management skills;

• The ability to manage competing priorities;

• Confidence communicating with clients and other professionals;

• A good understanding of legal files and the importance of following processes;

• The ability to work independently while also being a strong team player;

• A willingness to learn and develop your conveyancing knowledge; and

• A proactive approach to supporting the team .

Why This Role?

This role is particularly suited to someone who enjoys the legal and client-facing aspects of conveyancing but would prefer to work in a support capacity rather than carry responsibility for their own files.  For the right person, this role can provide an excellent pathway to further develop within conveyancing as your skills and confidence grow.

How to Apply

If you have legal secretarial or property law experience, are organised, proactive and interested in becoming more involved in residential conveyancing, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your covering letter and resume, together with copies of any relevant qualifications or results, outlining your experience and why you would be a great fit for our team.
