Case Cover Property Lawyer / Conveyancer

About Eden

Buying or selling a home is one of life's biggest milestones - yet conveyancing can still feel complicated, slow and unclear.

Eden is changing that.

We're building a digital-first conveyancing experience powered by exceptional people and smart technology, designed to make the home-moving journey simple, clear and fast. As we continue to grow, we're looking for experienced conveyancers and property lawyers who want to be part of a business that's doing things differently.

We're a collaborative, people-centred firm where teamwork matters. We recognise that great customer outcomes are only possible when our people feel supported and empowered to do their best work. That's why we've created a specialist Case Cover team that plays a critical role in ensuring seamless service delivery while supporting colleague wellbeing across the business.

We're now looking for a Case Cover Property Lawyer / Conveyancer to join that team.

The Opportunity

This is a unique conveyancing role that offers far more variety than a traditional caseload position.

As part of Eden's specialist Case Cover team, you'll step in to support residential conveyancing files when colleagues are on annual leave or otherwise unavailable. Your role is to ensure transactions continue progressing smoothly, providing continuity for clients while enabling colleagues to take time away from work with confidence.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, adaptability and problem-solving. Rather than managing the same portfolio of files day after day, you'll work across a broad range of residential transactions, supporting different teams and gaining exposure to a wide variety of matters.

When active cover is not required, you'll provide additional support across the business, helping teams manage workload peaks, progress ageing matters, support critical deadlines and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

We're looking for someone who can quickly assess a file, identify priorities, build effective working relationships and confidently take ownership of transactions with minimal supervision.

Whether you're a qualified lawyer or an experienced conveyancer, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your expertise, develop your skills and make a meaningful contribution to both customer outcomes and colleague wellbeing.

• Support teams during periods of increased demand or operational pressure
