Team Pa

**3353**

We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ - something you’ll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But, we’re more than just a law firm - we’re a team, working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs.

Whichever team you join, working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment. We’ll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things, and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

We recognise that the office 9-5 isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced ‘Flexible by Choice’. Whether it’s working from home, in our offices, or a combination of the both, we trust each other to support our clients, colleagues and communities at the right time, in the right way.

We are looking to add a talented Team PA to our Support Team (Family) to be based from Southampton or Chichester on a 12 month Fixed Term Contract.

**Your Role**

Working across our National Family team, you’ll work closely with our fee-earners to support them with any administrative and non-billable tasks as well as working hard to provide exceptional client service.

**What You'll Be Doing**
- Coordinating the billing process to be as efficient and effective as possible
- Opening and closing files, and dealing with all matter maintenance
- Managing fee-earner diaries, booking travel arrangements, preparing agendas and minute taking
- Supporting with the preparation of court documents, court forms and bundles
- Liaising with third parties including counsels’ clerks, court and clients on behalf of fee earners
- Attending internal meetings to represent the support team, take notes and support with business development activity

**What We're Looking For**
- A quick learner who will embrace our digital, flexible ways of working. Administrative experience is preferable, especially if it is in the family law sector.
- The ability to work efficiently under pressure and to prioritise workload
- Problem solving and a ‘can do’ attitude, particularly in relation to digital ways of working
- Brilliant client care skills and good verbal and written communication skills
- Excellent accuracy and attention to detail

**What we can offer you**
- 25 days annual leave, with the opportunity to buy additional leave
- Two fundraising days in a year to give back to the community (fully paid)
- Westfield Health membership, offering discounted leisure and travel and refunds on medical services

We also offer a huge number of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace as well as flexible working options to ensure that you are fully supported to work the way that best suits you. Our social responsibility programme is fundamental to who we are. We’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish. We have a range of groups to celebrate our people across sexuality, disability, age, gender and culture.
