Join our expert legal team at Pardoes Solicitors?
Location: Bridgwater or Yeovil?
Salary: Highly competitive for the region, plus KPI linked bonus

Pardoes Solicitors is growing, and this is an opportunity to grow with us.
We’re a long-established Somerset Company with the ambition, energy and progression opportunities of a modern, evolving business. Many of our colleagues have built their entire careers here, progressing through the company with the support of our Career Progression Framework and mentorship programme. Now, we’re looking for an experienced Residential Conveyancer to join our team and help shape the next chapter of our conveyancing offering.

What makes us different?

We know talented people have options, so here is what genuinely sets us apart:

• We embrace flexibility. Hybrid, full-time, part-time, condensed hours and unusual working patterns; we will consider them all and find a solution that works for everyone. We’re outcomes-focused, not clock-watchers.
• Real development, not corporate buzzwords. We are small enough that your work is visible and impactful yet structured enough to offer a clear Career Progression Framework, mentorship, and the chance to step into more senior opportunities as we grow.
• Competitive pay, reviewed annually. Our salaries are either competitive or above market for our size and region. We also carry out a company-wide annual pay review each April.
• Family-friendly culture. Birthday leave, and the ability to buy or sell annual leave via a salary exchange, helps colleagues adapt work around real life, not the other way around.
• A bonus scheme that actually rewards people. Introduced in April 2025, our KPI linked bonus scheme applies to all colleagues (fee earners and non-fee earners, with different structures). KPIs are realistic and achievable, and meaningful bonuses have already been paid out in the first cycle.
• We are genuinely client-focused. We have an excellent reputation locally and consistently receive exceptional feedback on platforms such as ReviewSolicitors. Our culture prioritises clear communication, personal service and doing the right thing for every client, which is reflected in our reviews and our longstanding client relationships.
• A place where you can make your mark. You’re not a number here. Everybody will know your name. Your ideas and contributions are valued and shape how we grow. You’ll see the direct impact of your work on the business and the community we serve.

The role
Through growth and team movement, we are seeking an experienced Residential Conveyancer to manage a full and varied caseload. You’ll work closely with the rest of the Residential Conveyancing team so you can focus on fee-earning and client care. Key aspects of the role include:

• Managing a full residential caseload (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity etc.)
• Delivering exceptional client service
• Building strong referral relationships
• Contributing to business development and supporting the team’s reputation locally
• Optional involvement in mentoring or developing junior colleagues
• Experience or interest in agriculture work is welcomed

About you

• Minimum 3 years’ PQE, or Chartered Legal Exec, with significant experience of handling a busy and varied residential conveyancing caseload
• Strong client care skills and confidence working independently
• Ability to work efficiently in a busy environment
• Familiarity with our case management systems (LEAP and Infotrack experience useful but not essential)
• A positive, collaborative mindse

This role can be based in either our Bridgwater or Yeovil office and a full driving licence is required as there will be occasional travel to other offices.

Why this is your next career move
This is a rare chance to put your stamp on a team in a Company that listens, evolves, and invests. You get the support and legacy of a long-established practice, with the personal impact and career progression opportunities of a flexible, ambitious business.
