LEGAL ASSISTANT – WILLS & PROBATE
Location: Carmarthen
Start date: ASAP
Are you looking to start or grow your legal career in a role that keeps you right at the heart of client service and casework? At Redkite Solicitors, our Legal Assistants are trusted to play a hands-on role in supporting fee earners — from drafting and legal research to client communication and assisting with managing files. If you're organised, detail-focused, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.
An interesting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Assistant to join us in our Wills & Probate department in our Carmarthen office on a full-time permanent basis. The Legal Assistant will work closely with Fee Earners to support in the day to day running of matters effectively and efficiently, improving client service and compliance where possible.
Redkite Solicitors prides itself on being able to offer a broad range of legal services that are able to meet the diverse needs of its clients. Our firm has been providing legal advice to individuals, families and businesses in our communities since 1898 and we are here for our clients every step of the way. We are a forward-looking, ever-expanding firm and are proud to be an employer of choice for around 250 staff members.
What will you be doing?
* Support the organisation and progression of legal matters, helping fee earners manage workloads effectively, prioritise tasks, and deliver an excellent client experience from start to finish.
* Assist with day-to-day legal work, including drafting correspondence, conducting legal research, liaising directly with clients, and preparing supporting documentation.
* Manage essential administrative processes, including file opening, document management, billing, and compliance checks — keeping everything running like clockwork.
* Play a key role in handling new client enquiries, ensuring potential clients receive a warm, efficient introduction to our services and that follow-ups are handled promptly.
Who we’re looking for:
* Strong IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and the ability to pick up new systems quickly.
* Highly motivated and proactive, with a can-do attitude and a willingness to get stuck into a wide variety of tasks.
* Resourceful and solutions-focused, able to manage competing priorities and stay calm under pressure.
* Excellent organisational skills with a sharp eye for detail, ensuring accuracy in everything from correspondence to compliance.
* Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with a professional and friendly manner when dealing with clients and colleagues.
What is in it for you?
We’re committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing legal team. You’ll be joining colleagues who are not only legally excellent but also commercially astute and down-to-earth. We value trust, boldness, excellence and teamwork — and we want you to thrive as part of that.
