A training academy which provides training for existing conveyancing staff to upskill, and welcomes non-conveyancers to start their conveyancing journey has announced the latest cohort of graduate case managers.
The academy is run by Movera, a 600-strong conveyancing group which incorporates ONP Solicitors, Cavendish Legal Group, Grindeys Conveyancing, Conveyancing Alliance, Broker Conveyancing, LMS and inCase. The graduates all studied at the Stockport office of ONP Solicitors. Movera say that over 120 staff have passed through the academy over the past year as they ramp up investment in its learning and development team which has grown from one member of staff, to five in the last 12 months. It intends to recruit a further4 trainers.
The six new graduates have all completed the case manager programme, described as a four week course which includes ‘passing rigorous assessments.’ The company say that it will also facilitate training for those with no conveyancing experience, offering a 16 week course, alongside a series of short skills courses and workshops for IT, customer service and management.
Jennifer Hogg, one of the new case managers, said:
“I very much enjoyed the training, which allowed me a sufficient amount of time to get to grips with the system at ONP, as well as some refresher training on conveyancing. It also helped me to settle into ONP. I was made to feel so welcome by all managers and colleagues. It’s a fantastic way to join the business.”
Chris Harvey, Movera’s Head of Learning and Development said:
“Our philosophy is that you never stop learning. In the modern workplace, the diverse range of skillsets that people need to progress is bigger than ever before. That’s why we are investing in and evolving the Movera academy to create a place where great people can develop their skillsets and ultimately, their careers.
“Case managers can earn generous, uncapped bonuses on top of their salaries. The speed and simplicity of the new systems mean that bonuses, based on the number of case numbers handled, are easy to achieve; and automation has eradicated many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks expected of case managers at other conveyancing firms.”
