Records Administrator in Bath

Do you have a head for admin and an eye for detail? If so, you could be a vital part of our support team.

We’re looking for someone to become part of a close-knit administrative team that provides vital legal support services within our organisation. You’ll be joining a patent and trademark attorney firm that works to protect some of the world’s leading brands and newest innovations.

Having excellent administration skills goes without saying, but you’ll also need to be the kind of person who enjoys a challenge and likes using your initiative.

This is a varied position, but your tasks will typically be to:

• Set up new cases relating to patents, designs and trademarks.
• Liaise with attorneys to make sure client information is precise and up to date.
• Look after the office diary reminder system for the attorneys.
• Review all incoming correspondence from various Intellectual Property Offices and foreign law firms, ensuring our data is up-to-date and accurate. That includes extracting key information and entering it into our case management system.

You’ll be based in our Bath office in the city centre for part of the week, being able to work from home up to 3 days per week (for a full-time position).

As well as being someone who thrives as part of a team, you’ll be resourceful enough to work independently when needed. Combined with strong problem-solving and IT skills, your attention to detail will be first-class. You will be bright, organised and keen to learn.

In terms of academic background, we’re looking for someone with five GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade 4 (previously known as C) or above, including English and Maths. Further qualifications such as A Levels or equivalent would be preferable.

Ideally, you will have experience working in a similar role with a background in Intellectual Property. We are looking for someone with the CIPA Administrator’s qualification, but this is not essential.
