Job description

Family Paralegal - Devizes, Wiltshire

Location: Devizes, Wiltshire Salary:£25,000 - £33,000 (dependent on experience) Job Type: Full-time, Permanent Practice Area: Family Law / Matrimonial / Private Client Support

Are you an ambitious Family Paralegal looking to build your career within a supportive and well-established legal practice?

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Family Paralegal to join a successful and growing family law team in Devizes. This role offers hands-on experience across a broad range of family matters, working closely alongside experienced solicitors and fee earners.

This is the perfect role for someone who is passionate about family law, thrives in a client-facing environment, and wants clear progression opportunities towards a training contract or qualification route.

Key Responsibilities

Assisting solicitors with a varied caseload of family law matters, including:
Divorce and separation
Financial remedy proceedings
Private children matters
Domestic abuse cases
Drafting legal documents, correspondence, and court bundles
Liaising with clients, courts, and third parties in a professional and empathetic manner
Attending client meetings and taking detailed instructions
Managing files and ensuring compliance with SRA and internal procedures
Supporting fee earners to progress matters efficiently and maintain high client care standards

About You

Previous experience working within family law as a paralegal or legal assistant is highly desirable
Strong understanding of family law procedures and documentation
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a compassionate approach to clients
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
Strong IT skills, including experience with case management systems
A law degree (LLB) or LPC/SQE is preferred but not essential

What's on Offer

Competitive salary package with regular reviews
Exposure to a high-quality and diverse caseload
Clear career progression pathways, including support towards qualification
A collaborative and supportive working environment
Opportunity to work closely with experienced family law specialists

Why This Role Stands Out

Join a respected regional legal practice with a strong reputation in family law
Gain hands-on experience rather than purely administrative work
Be part of a team that prioritises client care, quality, and professional development

If you are a motivated Family Paralegal looking to take the next step in your legal career in Devizes, apply now to be considered.
