GT Stewart is a busy, growing law firm committed to access to justice. Our lawyers work across criminal defence, family, housing, civil liberties, human rights and other areas of law, supporting clients across the country.
We are looking for an Administration Assistant to join our Birmingham office. This is a varied role within our wider administrative and client support teams, combining day-to-day office administration, telephone support and work assisting our Section 82 team.
The successful candidate will be an organised and approachable person who enjoys working as part of a busy team and is confident communicating with clients, colleagues and external contacts.
About the role
The role will include:
- Answering inbound calls from prospective and existing clients and ensuring calls are dealt with promptly and professionally
- Screening calls, taking accurate messages and directing enquiries to the appropriate team or department
- Providing administrative support to the Section 82 team, helping with the day-to‑day organisation and progression of work

About you
We are looking for someone who has:
