Job description

Flexible legal secretarial work without the commitment of a permanent role

Our client is looking for an experienced Legal Secretary who would enjoy picking up occasional temporary assignments throughout the year.

This opportunity is specifically designed to provide holiday and busy-period cover, so it would suit someone who is not looking for a full-time permanent position but would welcome flexible ad-hoc work with a professional legal team.

You will need to be comfortable stepping into a busy environment, quickly understanding what is required and providing reliable secretarial and administrative support when needed.

The Role:

Preparing, formatting and amending legal documentation
Organising diaries, appointments and meetings
Managing correspondence and communicating professionally with clients
Maintaining accurate files, records and supporting documentation
Assisting with research and document preparation where required
Providing general secretarial and administrative support to legal professionals

The ideal Legal Secretary will have:

Previous experience working as a Legal Secretary
A good understanding of legal terminology and office procedures
Strong Microsoft Office skills and experience using document management systems
Excellent organisation and the ability to manage changing priorities
Confident written and verbal communication skills
Good attention to detail and a proactive, adaptable approach

This is an excellent option for an experienced Legal Secretary who enjoys variety and would like the flexibility to accept occasional assignments rather than commit to a permanent position.

What You Need to Do Now:

If this sounds like the role for you, don't wait - apply today with your up-to-date CV!

If it's not quite right for you but you know someone perfect, refer them to us and receive a £100 voucher when they're placed and pass their probation period (terms apply). Visit our website to read more about our Double the Reward scheme in our blog.
