Ready to take the next step in your post-completion career?

At PLS Solicitors, our Post Completion Assistants play a vital role in keeping transactions moving after completion. This is a step-up opportunity for an experienced post-completion professional who’s confident managing Land Registry applications and requisitions and is ready to take on more responsibility, complexity and ownership.

You’ll be joining a supportive, high-performing team where post-completion is recognised as a specialist, technical function – not an afterthought. With increasing work volumes, we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running and become a trusted point of contact within the team.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Post Completion Assistant, you’ll manage post-completion matters from start to finish, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timeliness across a high-volume caseload. Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and submitting all types of Land Registry applications
• Dealing confidently with Land Registry requisitions and technical queries
• Amending documentation and ensuring accurate scanning and filing
• Registering charges with Companies House within strict statutory timeframes
• Liaising with clients, lenders, HM Land Registry, solicitors and third parties
• Acting as a point of contact for post-completion queries and escalations
• Assisting with workload allocation, prioritisation and inbox management
• Escalating complex matters where appropriate to ensure risks are managed

What We’re Looking For

This role requires established post-completion experience and the confidence to deal with technical work independently.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Significant experience in a post-completion role (minimum 6 months’ established experience post-training/probation) – we are also open to Conveyancers / Case Handlers who are now looking for a different career direction
• Strong working knowledge of Land Registry processes and applications
• Experience handling requisitions and understanding what to expect, even if you haven’t seen every scenario
• Experience with a broad range of case types is preferred – experience with New Build transactions is preferred.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage a busy, time-sensitive caseload
• Confidence using case management systems and the Land Registry Portal
• A professional, confident approach to phone-based queries and escalations
• Experience with systems such as InfoTrack is desirable but not essential

Why Join PLS?

• Clear progression: This role is a key development step for those aiming to move into senior or legal roles in the future
• Study support: Once you’ve been with us for a year, we’ll support you with professional qualifications to help you continue developing your legal knowledge and career
• Supportive environment: You’ll be trusted to get on with your work, while still being fully supported by an experienced management team
• Specialist focus: Post-completion is treated as a critical, technical function – your expertise genuinely matters
• Stability & investment: We’re committed to finding the right person and will wait for the right fit

What You’ll Get in Return

• 22 days holiday (rising by one day for each year of service, up to 25) + Bank Holidays, with buy/carry over options
• Employee benefits: death in service, healthcare plan, EAP, counselling, and salary sacrifice schemes (tech, nursery, gym, cycle, car)
• Extras: free conveyancing, mortgage advice, staff discounts

If you’re looking for a role where your post-completion/conveyancing knowledge is recognised, valued and developed, and where you can genuinely take the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of a team that understands the importance of getting post-completion right.
