Build your career with Robertsons.
We're an independent firm where people build long careers. Many of our senior team started with us as trainees. If you're looking for a firm that invests in your development, values your wellbeing, and gives you real responsibility early — we'd like to hear from you.
What's it like to work here?
We're a people-first firm. That's not a slogan — it's how we make decisions, treat each other, and support our clients.
Real career progression
A clear pathway from trainee through to director, with increasing responsibility, benefits and recognition at every stage. We promote from within wherever we can.
Investment in your development
We fund professional qualifications, provide study days for exams (SQE, CILEx, CLC), and pay for your Professional Skills Course if you're a trainee.
Genuine work-life balance
Flexible working and a generous holiday package that increases with seniority, plus the option to buy additional days.
Your wellbeing matters
Health insurance for every member of staff, life assurance, Employee Assistance Programme, annual eye care, and flu vaccinations.
Enhanced family leave
Enhanced maternity and paternity pay that goes well beyond the statutory minimum — because starting or growing a family shouldn't mean financial worry.
Part of something bigger
A paid volunteer day every year, community partnerships, and a culture where people genuinely look out for each other.
Current vacancies
We don't have any advertised vacancies at the moment, but we're always interested in hearing from talented people.
