We need a Legal Secretary or Assistant to work in the office in Newcastle under Lyme to perform a wide and varied range of administrative tasks, such as meeting and greeting clients, printing and scanning and inputting data. You would support all members of the Family and Conveyancing Teams (currently 4 qualified lawyers and 3 trainees, but only one works full time). You can read the detailed job description here.
The main difference between this role and the role of a traditional Legal Secretary is that we do not have audio-typing. Our lawyers use speech to text technology or type their own documents and emails. This means that the role is far more interesting and varied than one that includes audio-typing.
We are a small growing business built on firm foundations. This is a great opportunity to join a genuinely supportive team and be at the heart of all of the legal services that we offer. Your role shall be critical to the smooth running of the practice on a day-to-day basis. Punctuality, motivation and willingness to help our clients and your colleagues are essential to the role.
Our priorities are to look after our staff, work together as a team and strive for the highest levels of customer service. Genuine client care is essential: if we get that right, the business will continue to grow and thrive.
We embrace modern technology to enable us to work more efficiently and flexibly and provide the best service possible to our clients. Strong IT skills, good telephone manner and interpersonal skills are essential.
