Legal Support

We're looking for a Legal Secretary who can bring energy, organisation, and a calm head to a busy Children & Families Public Law team in Leamington.

This isn't just a "support role" in the background - you'll be right at the centre of the team, helping things run smoothly for fee earners and, most importantly, making sure clients get the support they need at what is often a really difficult time in their lives.

If you're someone who enjoys being busy, likes having things in order, and can switch between tasks without losing focus, you'll fit in well here. No two days are the same - one minute you'll be managing diaries or dealing with client calls, the next you'll be pulling together court bundles or making sure everything is ready for a hearing.

You'll be trusted with real responsibility, including:

• Providing high-quality secretarial and admin support across the Family department
• Speaking with clients and handling enquiries professionally and sensitively
• Carrying out conflict checks and managing new client information
• Keeping files fully compliant, accurate, and up to date
• Preparing court documents, bundles, and briefs for hearings
• Booking counsel and making sure everything is in place for court
• Supporting billing and cost schedules for private clients
• Helping out across the department and even providing reception cover when needed

I am looking for someone who has at least a year's experience in a legal admin role, with strong IT and typing skills. Experience in family or legal aid work would be great, but it's not essential.

More than anything, we want someone who is:

• Approachable and easy to talk to (clients will rely on you a lot)
• Organised, proactive, and able to use their initiative
• Calm under pressure when things get busy
• A genuine team player who's happy to muck in where needed
• Professional, discreet, and trustworthy with sensitive information

This is a role where you'll be relied on, kept busy, and genuinely valued as part of the team - not just ticking boxes, but helping make a real difference day to day.
