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
