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.
  • Family Law Savvy: You know the difference between a decree nisi and a decree absolute—and you’re not afraid to use it.
  • 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
