Department: Residential Conveyancing

Reports To: Head of Conveyancing

Job Summary

Risdons Solicitors are looking for an experienced and motivated residential conveyancing professional to join our busy and growing property team, working from our Dulverton office.

The successful candidate will have experience in managing a full caseload of residential conveyancing matters and will be comfortable dealing with the particular requirements of property transactions in a rural setting. Matters will include residential sales and purchases, new build, transfers of equity, shared ownership and remortgages, together with transactions involving rural and agricultural properties, land and more complex property matters.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety and complexity that comes with working in a rural property practice and who is keen to develop strong, long-term relationships with clients and local professional contacts.

The role requires strong technical knowledge, excellent client care skills and the ability to work independently, while also contributing positively to a collaborative and supportive team environment.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
