  • Initially focusing on building a personal caseload through BD and internal cross-referrals
  • Advising on probate (approx. 60%) and wills/LPAs (approx. 40%)
  • Collaborating with others in the team and building out the department
  • Driving revenue growth and ultimately progressing into Head of Department or Partner
  • Making use of firm-wide BD training and support to grow the client base

Salary & Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary
  • Bonus: Approx. 10% of billings over target
  • Holiday: 25 days + bank holidays
  • Birthday day off
  • Hybrid working: 2 days WFH per week once settled (office-based for first month)
  • Compressed hours or 4-day week considered
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity (up to 12 weeks full pay)
  • In-house billing team and typist support
  • Robust case management systems
  • Job security within a respected, well-resourced firm

This is a standout opportunity to take ownership of a department and build something with real longevity. You’ll be given the tools, trust and team to shape a private client function that reflects your values, leadership style and ambitions.
