Do you have strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a professional, welcoming approach to client care? At Redkite Solicitors, we’re seeking a reliable and adaptable Administrative Assistant to support our Carmarthen office and play a key role in delivering an efficient and professional front‑of‑house and administrative service. Working closely with colleagues across the office, you’ll be central to the smooth day‑to‑day running of operations. From being the first point of contact for clients and visitors to supporting file opening and general administration, you’ll contribute directly to the positive experience our clients have with the firm.

Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full‑service law firm, we’re driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.
