We are looking for someone who is not only technically capable, but who genuinely enjoys working with people. Good client relationships are at the heart of what we do, so being approachable, friendly and able to communicate well with clients and colleagues is important to us.
The role will primarily involve residential conveyancing, with responsibility for progressing matters from initial instruction through to settlement and completion.

- Remortgages
- Transfers of title
- New-build transactions
- Liaising with clients, estate agents, lenders and other solicitors
- Managing and progressing your own caseload
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Whilst the role is primarily residential conveyancing, there is also scope to broaden your experience and work alongside colleagues on more complex property matters, including rural and agricultural transactions.
This provides an opportunity for the right person to develop their knowledge and experience beyond straightforward residential work, depending on their interests and experience.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Enthusiastic and motivated, with a genuine interest in property work
- Forward-thinking and open to new ideas and ways of working
- A real people person, who enjoys building positive relationships with clients and colleagues
- Conscientious, reliable and takes pride in their work
- Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail
- Able to manage their own workload and meet deadlines
- Confident communicating with clients and other professionals
- A team player who is happy to support colleagues and ask for support when needed
- Keen to learn, develop and take on additional responsibility
For a newly qualified solicitor, this would be an excellent opportunity to build confidence, develop a caseload and gain experience with the support of experienced colleagues.
