The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:
Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.
If you're an experienced Family Solicitor looking for a firm where you'll be trusted, valued, and genuinely enjoy coming to work, this is one you don't want to miss.
We're working with a well-established, highly respected family law practice in Cheam that has built an outstanding reputation - not just for the quality of its work, but for how well it treats its people. This is a firm that has mastered the balance: serious work, without the corporate burnout.
Why this role stands out:
A true "happy ship" culture - low staff turnover, high morale
Flexibility and fairness at the core of how they operate
Excellent remuneration that reflects your experience
A supportive, close-knit team where you're more than just a number
You'll join a team of 6 fee earners and support staff, working closely with the Principal, while enjoying the autonomy to run and grow your own caseload of privately funded work.
Expect a varied, high-quality caseload including:
Divorce and financial remedy matters
Private children work
TOLATA and Schedule 1 claims
Relationship agreements
The ideal Family Solicitor will have 5+ years' PQE in private family law, be someone confident, capable, and ready to take ownership of their caseload, and someone who values client care as much as technical excellence
This is your chance to step into a role where you'll be well-paid, well-supported, and genuinely happy - without sacrificing the quality of work.
If you've been waiting for the right move rather than just the next move, this could be it
