Legal Support

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role at the centre of the team - supporting fee earners and helping ensure clients receive consistent, sensitive, and well-organised support during what can often be a very difficult time.

Please note: we are specifically looking for experienced administrators (not graduates or candidates seeking progression into legal roles such as paralegal/legal assistant positions). This is a stable support role, not a stepping stone into fee earning work.

If you’re highly organised, calm under pressure, and enjoy being busy with a varied workload, this could be a great fit. No two days are the same — you’ll be juggling admin tasks, client contact, document preparation, and court-related work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing high-quality secretarial and administrative support to the Family department
• Handling client calls and enquiries in a professional and sensitive manner
• Carrying out conflict checks and processing new client information
• Maintaining accurate, compliant, and well-managed files
• Preparing court bundles, documents, and briefs
• Booking counsel and ensuring all hearing requirements are in place
• Supporting billing and cost schedules for private client matters
• Assisting across the department and providing occasional reception cover

What we’re looking for:

• At least 1 year’s experience in a strong administrative/support role (legal experience desirable but not essential)
• Excellent IT and typing skills
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Calm, professional, and able to manage competing priorities
• Confident communicating with clients in a supportive and empathetic way
• A reliable team player who is happy to support wherever needed
• Discreet and trustworthy when dealing with sensitive information

This is a role where you will be genuinely relied upon and valued as a key part of a close-knit team, helping things run smoothly day to day.

Hours: Part-time (3 - 4 days per week), with flexibility to work up to 5pm

If you’re an experienced administrator looking for a stable, busy support role within a friendly and professional environment, we’d love to hear from you.
