Edwards Employment Solutions are proud to be recruiting a Administration Assistant on behalf of a highly respected, busy and successful legal practice based in Chesterfield. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is procedural, methodical and detail-driven, and who takes real pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
The Role – What You’ll Actually Be Doing
This is a process-heavy, structured administration role supporting an experienced fee earner within a thriving conveyancing department. You’ll be trusted with repeatable, deadline-led tasks that are critical to keeping files moving efficiently and compliantly.
Your responsibilities will include:
✔ Managing day-to-day administrative tasks including typing, filing and updating the firm’s case management system
✔ Opening, maintaining and closing legal files accurately and in line with set procedures
✔ Diarising files for review and ensuring key dates are met
✔ Chasing outstanding information and documentation in a timely, professional manner
✔ Handling routine client and estate agent communications by phone and email
✔ Preparing standard correspondence and routine conveyancing documentation
✔ Supporting registration applications and basic conveyancing processes
✔ Assisting with general departmental administration and occasional cover at nearby offices if required
✔ Supporting light marketing and networking activities when needed
This is a busy, structured environment where attention to detail and consistency matter. You’ll be doing similar tasks regularly - and that’s a good thing if you’re wired that way.
This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who:
✔ Enjoys working to clear processes and defined systems
✔ Finds comfort in routine, repetition and structure
✔ Takes pride in accuracy, organisation and doing things properly
✔ Is happy working to deadlines and keeping multiple files on track
✔ Likes knowing exactly what’s expected of them
✔ Gets satisfaction from a job done correctly, not rushed
If you’re someone who loves lists, systems, checklists and order — you’ll thrive here.
Skills & Attributes We’re Looking For
✔ Strong administrative and IT skills
✔ Excellent written and verbal communication
✔ A reliable, dependable and consistent work ethic
✔ A calm, focused approach under time pressure
✔ Team-oriented but confident working independently
✔ Professional, organised and conscientious
Legal or conveyancing experience is helpful but not essential — this role is equally suited to someone with strong admin experience who wants to build a career in the legal sector.
What’s On Offer
✔ Permanent position from day one
✔ Option to work 4 days a week if this is preferred - £17.8Kpa for 28 hours OR 35 hours over 5 days for £22.2Kpa
✔ Structured training and development
✔ Supportive, professional working environment
✔ Clear processes and expectations — no chaos, no guesswork
✔ Long-term stability and progression for the right person
