Residential Conveyancing Solicitor (NQ– 3 PQE)
Location: Galashiels
Firm: Leading Scottish Borders Firm
Salary: Competitive Salary
The Role
Buying or selling a home is rarely just a transaction for most people - it's a key moment that happens in our lives. And in a close-knit market like the Scottish Borders, reputation, trust, and relationships carry real weight.
This firm has built its name on exactly that. Known locally for its approachable, down-to-earth style and consistently high standard of work, it has become a go-to for residential property across the region. With a steady flow of instructions and long-standing client relationships, the team is now looking to bring in an additional Solicitor to support its continued growth.
In this role, you’ll run your own caseload from the outset, handling a mix of transactions including sales, purchases, remortgages, and new builds. You’ll be given the space to manage files in your own way, but always with the backing of an experienced team around you.
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.
You’ll be trusted to take ownership, while still being part of a genuinely supportive and collaborative environment. Clients often return time and again, so there’s a real opportunity to build lasting relationships and become a familiar, trusted name in the local market.
As you settle in, there’s scope to broaden your role beyond fee-earning, whether that’s supporting junior colleagues, getting involved in business development, or further embedding yourself in the local community.
