I’m currently recruiting for a Legal Secretary / Legal Assistant to join a busy Childcare & Public Law team within a well-established law firm.
The team has flexed on the experience required, so you don’t necessarily need a Childcare or Family Law background. If you have legal secretarial/support experience from another area of law and strong transferable skills, they’re happy to consider you.
The Role
You’ll provide day-to-day support to the team, including:
Legal Aid applications and managing the CCMS portal
Diary and key date management
Time recording and billing support
Managing incoming/outgoing correspondence and documents
Liaising with professionals
Opening files and conflict checks
Supporting with C2, Care & Supervision Orders, EPOs and Part applications
What they’re looking for
Ideally, you’ll have around 1 year’s legal secretarial or legal support experience, but the right transferable experience is more important than having worked specifically in Childcare.
You’ll need to be organised, computer literate and confident managing deadlines, with fast and accurate typing skills and a professional, empathetic approach when dealing with clients.
Experience of Legal Aid, CCMS, court bundles or Childcare/Public Law would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.
Hours: 9am–5pm, Monday–Friday
If you’re a Legal Secretary or Legal Assistant looking for your next move and would be interested in developing your experience within Childcare & Public Law, I’d love to hear from you.
