  • Solid experience across Wills, Trusts, Probate, LPAs and Inheritance Tax matters

  • Confident in client relationship management and able to deliver high-quality, empathetic advice

  • Commercially minded with a collaborative approach to team and business development

  • STEP qualification (or working towards) would be advantageous

  • Willingness to travel occasionally to offices in London and Kent

What’s on Offer
  • Salary up to £70,000 (some flexibility for the right person)

  • Private Medical Insurance, Income Protection, and Critical Illness Cover

  • Competitive pension scheme and Life Assurance

  • Health Cash Plan and Employee Assistance Programme

  • A supportive, inclusive working culture that values long-term contribution and work-life balance

  • Monthly recognition awards and culture-based incentives

  • Hybrid working available
