• Providing general administrative support including filing, tracking, and document control

• Previous experience in an administrative or coordination role (legal experience is beneficial but not essential)
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy - this is critical for success in the role
• Highly organised, methodical, and process-driven
• Comfortable working in a role that can involve repetitive tasks and structured processes
• Strong communication skills with the confidence to liaise across teams
• Proactive, motivated, and eager to learn
• Able to manage priorities effectively and meet deadlines

The Opportunity

• Share scheme with company matching
• 25 days holiday + increasing with service
• On-site parking
• Modern office environment with strong team culture

Important Consideration

This role is best suited to individuals looking for a long-term administrative career within a legal environment, rather than a stepping stone into a legal qualification or solicitor pathway.
