* Providing practical coaching and technical guidance.

* Identifying technical problems and assisting in providing workable solutions

* Step into live residential conveyancing caseloads.

* Prioritise urgent matters.

* Handle exchanges and completions.

* Support clients during periods of absence or increased workload.

* Stabilise files until they can be returned or redistributed.

Experience

Fee earner, with the knowledge to provide guidance and training to other Fee Earners.

Good experience of the code of conduct for the regulator.

Experience independently managing a full conveyancing caseload.

Previous experience of training staff would be an advantage but is not essential.

The ability to identify legal and operational risks quickly.

A genuine interest in coaching and developing others.

Strong communication and organisational skills.
