- Helping the team prioritise and stay on track in a busy department
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in a legal administrative or secretarial role
- Previous responsibility for mentoring, supervising, or managing others
- Strong organisational skills and a proactive, approachable attitude
- Knowledge of legal processes, billing systems, and compliance (Private Client experience is a bonus, but not essential)
Why apply?

- Great opportunity to move into a team leadership position
- Friendly, collaborative working environment
- Hybrid working (1 day WFH after probation)
- Excellent long-term career development and progression
