Who we are

Guardian Angel was founded in 2017 after our founder Sam lost his Mum suddenly in a road accident.

Dealing with grief is tough enough without all of the other stuff that comes with it - from planning a funeral, to handling probate and closing accounts.

Now our mission is to use technology and our personal experience to make sure that planning for and through death isn’t any tougher than it needs to be.

In December 2022 we joined the Octopus Group, who share our values and will enable us to help 1,000,000 people and their families in the next 5 years.

A candidate must

  • be a qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with probate practice rights gained in a client-facing role within a reputable Private Client Probate team, with at least 3 years of experience;
  • have extensive knowledge of the law concerning Probate, Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and all other areas of Wills and Probate work;
  • be experienced in running a Wills and Probate client caseload;
  • have excellent technical and communication skills;
  • be IT literate.
  • be collaborative, creative and an effective communicator.

The ideal candidate will hold a STEP qualification, but this is not essential.

Benefits include

  • An extra holiday day for your birthday
  • Flexible working: 3 days in the office minimum (Holborn, London)
  • Life Insurance
  • Octopus Share Incentive Scheme
  • Electric car salary sacrifice for employees
  • Flexibility to work from anywhere for 6 weeks of the year
