We are on the lookout for a proactive and enthusiastic Legal Support Assistant (LSA) to join our busy Disputed Wills team on a full time basis in our Exeter office. As an integral part of the team, you’ll ensure the provision of an efficient and effective PA and secretarial support service to assigned stakeholders.

As a strong team player with a positive, can-do attitude, you will possess excellent interpersonal skills and a flair for building effective working relationships across all levels.

Ask our people, and they will tell you that they genuinely enjoy coming to work and spending time with their colleagues.

Importantly, we will give you the space and flexibility for your life outside work too.

Our goal? To help you realise your full potential as part of a forward-thinking team and business.

That’s what sets us apart.

**Our offer**

We offer a range of benefits to support you at work and at home.

This includes a flexible working framework, extra annual leave for your birthday and the option to buy more holiday.

We have a comprehensive package to support physical and mental health including onsite yoga classes, healthcare plans, an Employee Assistance programme and free access for you and 5 others to the Calm mindfulness app.

You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our responsible business programme, including fundraising initiatives through the Ashfords Foundation and bringing your energy to our environment or diversity groups.
