Family Solicitor

Join a respected, modern, people-centred law firm in Swindon with a thriving Family department known for delivering high-quality, empathetic, and commercially sound advice. This is an outstanding opportunity for a Family Solicitor looking to advance their career in a firm that values personal development, promotes autonomy, and encourages your growth both technically and professionally.

Why This Firm Stands Out

• A reputation clients trust: The Family team is well-established across Wiltshire, with steady private-law instructions and a loyal referral network.
• A genuinely supportive culture: You'll join a warm, collaborative team that champions balance, trust, and wellbeing - not rigid hierarchies or unrealistic targets.
• High-quality work, no burnout: A steady flow of private family matters (not legal aid volume-work) ensures meaningful engagement with clients and space for strategic thinking.
• Investment in you: Tailored mentoring, funded training, and structured routes to Senior Associate or Team Lead.
• Modern, flexible working: Hybrid arrangements and smart systems that cut admin and let you focus on lawyering, not paperwork.

The Role

You'll manage a varied, engaging caseload including:

• Divorce, separation, and civil partnership dissolution
• Financial remedy matters (including medium to higher-value cases)
• Private children matters and complex arrangements
• Cohabitation and separation agreements
• Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements
• Negotiation, drafting, advocacy, and ADR where appropriate

You will also have the opportunity to:

• Build long-term client relationships
• Support BD activity and raise your profile locally
• Contribute to the team's continued growth and reputation

About You

You will ideally have:

• 1+ year PQE in private family law (higher PQE also welcomed)
• Strong grounding in divorce, finances, and children matters
• Excellent communication and client-care skills
• The ability to work compassionately and strategically
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Desire to grow your expertise with a supportive team

Salary & Benefits

• £48,000 to £60,000
• Generous holiday allowance
• Hybrid working with flexibility around life commitments
• Regular supervision and professional development pathways
• Friendly, modern working environment
• Clear promotion roadmap and support for accreditations
