Legal Southwest
Location: Near Somerton
Full-Time or Part-Time – Flexible Working Available around school hours, other commitments, reduced hours, or reduced amount of days
Permanent Role – Immediate Start Available
A well-regarded law firm is seeking a Legal Secretary to join its newly established office near Somerton. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a supportive and forward-thinking practice, working within modern, newly refurbished offices in a pleasant and professional setting.
The firm is open to full-time or part-time arrangements and can offer flexibility around working patterns. This could include reduced hours, school-friendly hours, or working several days per week, making it an ideal role for someone seeking a position that offers both responsibility and work-life balance.
The Role:
This position has been created following a restructure of the firm’s workflow processes and is focused purely on administrative and secretarial support. The firm is specifically seeking a Legal Secretary rather than a fee earner or an individual looking to progress into a fee-earning role.
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the office’s day-to-day operations. Over time, the role will involve working largely independently, so confidence, organisation and initiative will be important.
Responsibilities are likely to include:
- Providing comprehensive secretarial and administrative support
- Audio and copy typing of correspondence and legal documents
- Preparing and formatting legal documentation
- Managing diaries, appointments and meetings
- Handling incoming calls and client enquiries professionally
- Opening and maintaining client files in line with compliance procedures
- Assisting with document management and electronic filing systems
- General office administration to ensure the smooth running of the office
About You:
The firm would ideally welcome applications from candidates with previous Legal Secretary experience. However, those with strong administrative backgrounds who are keen to work within a legal environment will also be considered.
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Strong typing and document formatting abilities
- Professional communication skills, both written and verbal
- The ability to work independently and manage workload effectively
- A reliable, proactive and flexible approach
This is a lovely opportunity to join a friendly and professional firm in a newly established office, with genuine flexibility available to suit the right individual.
An immediate start is available for the successful candidate.
