In this role, you will provide comprehensive secretarial and administrative support to the private client team, helping to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the department. Your responsibilities will include accurately preparing legal forms and documents, producing client correspondence from digital dictation and managing diaries and scheduling.

Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook is also required.
