Legal Compliance Assistant – AML & Business Support
Stoke-on-Trent
Up to £30,000
Office based
Already working in legal administration and interested in moving into compliance?
Or perhaps you're a Compliance Assistant looking for a role focused on the day-to-day support that keeps a firm's processes running smoothly?
I'm working with a growing law firm looking for a Compliance Administrator to support client onboarding, maintain accurate records and help keep compliance administration organised.
This is a practical, administrative position, suited to someone who enjoys working through detail, keeping information up to date and following up with colleagues to get things completed.
The Role?
- Supporting client onboarding, including gathering and recording client due diligence and identity documents.
- Assisting with routine AML checks and collating source-of-funds information, flagging queries for review.
- Liaising with fee earners and colleagues to chase missing information and documentation.
- Keeping compliance records, registers and case management systems accurate and up to date.
- Supporting file closure and archiving processes.
- Providing general administrative support across the firm's compliance processes.
About you?
Experience working in within a law firm or legal services environment.
Practical experience of client due diligence, AML and source of funds checks.
Comfortable using legal case management systems and confident speaking with clients and colleagues.
Organised and detail-orientated
Knowledge of SRA requirements and experience of file audits would be useful, but previous auditing experience isn't essential.
You might already be a Compliance Assistant, Compliance Administrator or junior Compliance Analyst, or a Legal Assistant or Paralegal with relevant onboarding and file management experience.
What's in it for you?
- The opportunity to progress as the team grows, taking on more responsibility and developing your experience across AML, file audits and wider regulatory compliance.
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional leave.
- Matched pension contributions.
- Access to a private GP and healthcare scheme for you and your family.
- Life cover at four times your salary.
- Free parking.
- Professional development support to help build your legal compliance knowledge.
