Job Title: Family Legal Secretary

Location: Rapidly Growing Law Firm - West Sussex


Are you a multitasking wizard with a knack for keeping lawyers in check, documents in order, and still have time to crack a joke when the photocopier jams? Then we want you


About the firm:


A fast-growing law firm with a dynamic team of advocates, advisors, and all-around superheroes (no capes, but plenty of coffee). They handle everything family law, from divorce to financial disputes , pensions , and businesses , to those classic custody battles over the family pet.


The Role:


Your job? Keeping our legal eagles flying straight. From managing diaries and documents to helping with everything from messy separations to pension wrangling , you’ll be the glue that holds it all together.


The Ideal Candidate:


  • Communication & Time-Management Pro : You keep everything running like a well-oiled machine.

  • Sense of Humor : Because sometimes, all you can do is laugh.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Answer phones, schedule appointments, and manage solicitor calendars like a pro.
  • Draft and proofread legal docs (with an eagle eye for errors).
  • Organise physical and electronic files without breaking a sweat.
  • Handle client and court communication with ease.
  • Assist with trial prep, organising exhibits and witnesses like a true mastermind.
  • Maintain confidentiality (because loose lips sink ships).


Skills Required:


  • Audio Typing & Digital Dictation : You can type faster than a speeding solicitor.
  • Diary & File Management : You're basically a time-traveling organisational wizard.
  • Client Relations : Smooth talker when it counts.
  • Clerical Ninja : Admin duties? Handled.


Perks:


  • A great team that will make you feel like part of the family.
  • Endless coffee, competitive pay, and the joy of making a difference in people’s lives (sometimes without even using caffeine).
  • Parking
  • Short walk to civilisation, shops and cafes
