Job Description
Legal Secretary / Workflow Coordinator
London (Hybrid - 3 days in the office)
£45,000 + Excellent benefits + Clear scope for progression
I'm working with a well-established law firm that's known for its collaborative culture and genuinely friendly team dynamic. They're currently looking for an experienced Legal Secretary who's ready to step into a broader role - combining high-level secretarial support with day-to-day coordination responsibilities.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys legal support work but also thrives when given the chance to lead, organise, and make things run more smoothly for the wider team.
Responsibilities:
- Supporting a team of fee earners with a range of secretarial duties - including inbox and diary management, document production, billing and compliance support
- Acting as the go-to person for coordinating workload and helping to manage team workflow effectively
- Working closely with the wider support function to ensure deadlines are met and resources are being used efficiently
- Taking a proactive approach to improving systems, flagging inefficiencies, and helping the team stay one step ahead
- Liaising confidently with stakeholders across the business, stepping in to support the current Team Lead as needed
Candidate Profile:
- Previous experience as a Legal Secretary in a law firm (corporate experience preferred but not essential)
- Someone confident and assertive, who's comfortable managing up and guiding others when needed
- Excellent organisational skills and a natural ability to prioritise and juggle deadlines
- A collaborative mindset and a desire to take ownership, not just follow instruction
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail - you'll be someone others rely on to keep things moving
This firm is known for offering clear progression routes and a supportive environment. If you're someone who thrives in a team, enjoys variety, and is ready for that next step into something with more responsibility - this could be a great move.
