**Up to £23,000 per annum**

We are working with a well-established, Lexcel and CQS accredited multi-office law firm who are seeking an experienced Legal Secretary to join their busy pool of secretaries, based at their Birmingham City Centre office, supporting the whole business.

Our client offers a very supportive, friendly, and professionally rewarding work environment, underpinned by their enhanced family friendly policies and commitment to all staff’s wellbeing.

They are very committed to giving employees a good work-life balance, allowing them to thrive at work.

**The position will involve**:

- Working as part of a team of secretaries in a busy secretarial pool

- Audio typing from digital dictation (Bighand)
- Copy typing of correspondence and legal documents
- Processing of large and small legal documents, including correspondence and bills
- Use of a case management system (Tikit)
- Dealing with both contentious and non-contentious work
- Undertaking diary management, task management and general support for busy fee earners
- Maintaining good organisation of new and ongoing files (the firm is mostly paper-light)
- Taking messages from new and existing clients
- Provision of occasional reception
- Opening and closing files
- Previous experience working in a legal secretarial capacity, ideally within three or more different fields of law
- Good secretarial skills including audio and copy typing, and proficiency in MS Word and Excel
- Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise
- Experience of using digital dictation systems and case management systems

This is a full-time permanent job working 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

**Benefits include**:

- 24 days’ annual leave plus the option to purchase additional days
- Matching 4% pension contributions
- Life Assurance of 4x salary
- Discounts on personal conveyancing and wills
- Corporate discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, and days out
- Annual flu jabs
- Ongoing career development and CPD training, with ample opportunities for staff to build on their skills and experience

**Note**: Salary is given as a guideline in line with market rate and will be wholly dependent on experience. The information given above is correct to the best of our knowledge
