**Job summary**

**Why is this role important and how does it fit into the team, department and wider firm?**

The Practice Assistant will provide an efficient, comprehensive and high-quality legal support service within our **Business Services department.**

**What is the working practice for this role?**

The firm operates a set of core principles that guides our working practice. It’s called ‘One Firm, Wherever You Are’.

You might have enjoyed working from home and would like to split your time between there and the office/ other work locations. Others may be eager to return to the office on a more regular basis. We believe that a regular level of in-person contact is an important way to build connections with your colleagues, enhancing knowledge and idea sharing and enabling all of us to benefit from the vibrant office culture Browne Jacobson has to offer.

Our expectation is that, **on average**, you’ll work from home for no more than three days per week, with the remainder of your time either spent with your colleagues in the office or working from other locations as work demands dictate, e.g. courts, client offices, conferences etc. This is an average expectation over time and we know that there will be variations from week to week. Equally, there will be individual circumstances in which a different pattern of work is needed, for example as an agreed reasonable adjustment for colleagues with a disability or long term medical condition.

We believe this approach:

- fits with our values and personality;
- will enhance our performance through greater flexibility;
- advances our ambitions as an inclusive employer - helping you better balance work and family/life commitments;
- offers opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint (travel, office services etc.), a key ambition underpinning our corporate sustainability plan.

**Person specification**

**Who would be a good fit for this role?**

As part of the legal support team, you would be expected to have the following skills and experience:

- An effective communicator with the ability to establish and build client relationships; striving to provide exceptional service at all times
- Customer service focused
- Proven experience of managing administration services and resources, with a hands-on, practical approach
- Effective at investigating issues and seeing a problem through to conclusion
- Conscientious, taking personal responsibility for own work and accountability for its delivery and quality
- Excellent team player, sharing in team goals to provide excellent quality and efficiency of service, with a willingness to take on new responsibilities and challenges
- Positive can-do attitude with the ability to adapt to change
- Confidential and discreet but able to redirect information when appropriate to ensure areas of concern are resolved effectively
- Well organised and methodical with excellent attention to detail, ensuring accuracy in all client communications and deliverables
