About the Opportunity

We're delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing, people-focused law firm as they expand their Commercial Property team. They're looking for an organised and client-centred Administrator to provide essential support to a team of busy fee earners.

If you're a strong communicator with excellent attention to detail - and you enjoy working as part of a friendly, high-performing team - this is an excellent opportunity to grow your administrative career within a modern, forward-thinking legal practice. Previous experience in a similar role is helpful but not essential.

Key Responsibilities

Working closely with fee earners, you'll play a vital role in keeping the department running smoothly. Your day-to-day work will include:

  • Communicating with clients and colleagues to help provide exceptional service
  • Updating client records and databases
  • Scheduling appointments and managing diaries
  • Handling queries in person and over the phone
  • Accurate message-taking and passing information to the right team members
  • Scanning, photocopying, and general document handling
  • Raising invoices and liaising with the accounts team
  • Filing and managing documents both physically and electronically
  • Supporting fee earners with general administrative tasks

What We're Looking For

  • Strong administration skills and the ability to multi-task
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • A team player with the ability to organise your own workload and prioritise effectively
  • Good knowledge of Microsoft Office
  • Confident, professional, and personable communication style
  • Reliable, hard-working, and well presented
  • Own transport (occasional travel between offices is required)

Why Join This Firm?

  • Our client stands out from the crowd. They're a broad-service, fast-growing law firm with a genuinely people-first approach - known for their warmth, clarity, and high professional standards.

You'll be joining a team that:

  • Values personal development and supports career progression
  • Encourages new ideas and fresh thinking
  • Invests in modern tools, tech, and processes
  • Offers a collaborative, supportive, and ambitious working culture

Working Arrangements

  • Full-time: Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm
  • Some hybrid flexibility: occasional home working on a rota basis
  • Primarily office-based (location depends on client/team needs)
  • Own car essential

If you're organised, motivated, and looking for a role where you can genuinely contribute to a growing legal team, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know if you'd like to discuss this opportunity further or proceed with an application.
