Co-Founder & Director at Optimise by Recruitment
This is a genuine opportunity for a Legal Secretary to join a well-established, supportive legal team. You’ll be reporting to a supportive and professional Head of Department, who rose through the ranks from a secretary. That should tell you everything about how much progression is supported here.
You’ll be working closely with a group of fee earners and fellow secretaries, supporting with a broad range of tasks including:
* Typing legal documents and correspondence (audio/copy typing using digital dictation software)
* Managing diaries, deadlines and appointments
* Handling post, phone calls, client queries, and third-party chasers
* Organising and maintaining electronic and paper filing systems
* Preparing legal bundles and documentation with pinpoint accuracy
* Opening and closing files properly, following compliance procedures
* Getting involved in day-to-day office tasks
Expect a varied role that touches all parts of a commercial property transaction. The pace is fast, deadlines matter, and if you’re sharp, proactive, and don’t need your hand held, you'll thrive.
What You’ll Need:
* Solid MS Word and IT skills
* Excellent written and spoken English
* Proven secretarial or admin experience (doesn’t have to be legal, but legal is a plus)
* Ability to juggle multiple tasks under pressure
* Resilience, attention to detail, and an ability to follow through
* Previous experience in property or commercial law
* Working knowledge of legal processes or documentation
* An understanding of legal forms, third-party correspondence, and case file prep
The Perks:
* Generous holiday: 20 days + 8 bank holidays, plus your birthday off, plus Christmas shutdown
* Holiday entitlement increases by 5 after 5 years
* Reward and recognition platform, employee discounts, cycle-to-work, holiday trading and more
* Support for development and qualifications
* Pension scheme and salary sacrifice options
* Lovely, sociable office with good transport links
