Senior Residential Conveyancer (5+ PQE)
Manchester City Centre - Hybrid Working
Starting salary at £55,000 + Bonus
Be part of an award-winning, people-focused firm with a genuinely balanced workload model
Join an established firm, with a new, still-growing office
Day-one support already in place
Long-term progression potential up to partnership
Flexible, non-micromanaged working culture
Opportunity to shape and grow a senior presence in a thriving new office
The Role
This is a senior individual contributor role rather than a formal management position. You'll act as the go-to senior figure for the team, supervising and supporting juniors when needed, but there's no expectation to run the office or manage people formally. Business development and networking are welcomed but genuinely optional as there is a lot of work coming in naturally from the other departments. The firm is happy for the right person to focus purely on fee-earning if that's their preference.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
