We are looking for an experienced legal assistant to join our excellent conveyancing team working in both our Lymington and Lyndhurst offices.
Experience in residential or commercial property, or another transactional legal department, is desirable but not of vital importance; we're more interested in a positive attitude, good organisational skills, enthusiasm, and the ability to work well under pressure. A strong level of admin skills are a must, though.
This position will include liaising with clients and third parties, preparation of documents and filings, general administration, attending meetings, taking notes, and supporting the team.
There is considerable opportunity at Scott Bailey for progression for the right candidate, and a number of our qualified fee earners started in similar roles.
This is an office-based role however you will need to have your own transport to be able to travel between our offices in Lymington and Lyndhurst as flexibility to work at both offices will be required.
The ideal candidate will:
* be driven and ambitious.
* have an excellent telephone manner.
* have a high level of customer service and interpersonal skills.
* have a great eye for detail.
* be able to work to tight deadlines.
* have good Microsoft skills, particularly Outlook, Word and Excel.
* be flexible and proactive with a 'can do' attitude.
* be organised and able to prioritise.
* have excellent oral and written communication skills.
* be able to work efficiently in a team.
Job Types: Full-time, Part-time
Application question(s):
* Do you have your own transport and able to travel to work at either our Lymington or Lyndhurst Office?
