Strong audio typing skills and accurate document production;
Confident communication skills and the ability to interact professionally with clients and colleagues at all levels;
Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and familiarity with legal case management systems;
Someone adaptable, organised and comfortable moving between teams depending on workflow;
A positive, supportive attitude - ideal for someone re-entering the legal sector or looking for a role with varied but steady responsibility.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, reputable firm that values flexibility, reliability and a willingness to assist across the business. If you're eager to re-establish yourself in the legal sector or seeking a well-rounded secretarial position, we'd love to hear from you.
