About the Role
R13 are recruiting for a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Conveyancing Legal Secretary to join a busy, close-knit and supportive team, working closely with an experienced Fee Earner and playing a key role across the full conveyancing process.
You’ll be supported through a comprehensive onboarding process, with exposure to different areas of the business and ongoing development opportunities as your experience grows – including the potential to work towards further qualifications and take on greater responsibility within the team.
The position will be based from their Norwich office, working 35 hours per week (Mon-Fri 9-5).
The Company
The client is an established and highly regarded legal firm with a strong Conveyancing team based in Norwich.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who knows their way around a conveyancing file, can work with initiative and is looking for a workplace ‘home’ joining a welcoming legal team.
