Are you a skilled Legal Secretary with solid Wills & Probate experience?

We are helping our client to find a professional powerhouse to join this high-performing Wills & Probate team.

If you’re confident, organised, and thrive in a busy legal environment, this is your opportunity to step into a role where your expertise truly matters.

Please Note: This is not a junior role or suitable for a graduate seeking a training contract. This is for an experienced Legal Assistant to specialise in the Wills & Probate support function and hit the ground running.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Drafting legal documents & correspondence (audio-typing + word processing)
• Managing client files from open to close – securely and efficiently
• Delivering outstanding client care – both face-to-face and over the phone
• Handling appointments, diaries, and meeting arrangements
• Supporting fee earners and fellow secretaries
• Mentoring junior and temp secretaries where needed

What You Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience in a Legal Secretary role – especially in Wills, Probate & Estate Management
• Fast, accurate typing and impeccable document formatting
• Ability to do both copy typing and audio typing
• Super-strong organisational skills and razor-sharp attention to detail
• Confidence with legal software and digital case management tools
• A professional, can-do attitude and commitment to client service

What is in this for you?

You’ll be part of a team that values experience, respects professionalism, and understands the importance of your work. A competitive basic salary, shut down between Christmas and New Year, plus normal holiday and pension benefits. If you’re proactive, dependable, and ready to make a real impact – this is the role for you.
