LEGAL PA
We are looking for a talented Personal Assistant to join our Private Client team.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful law firm in the heart of Bath. Mowbray Woodwards, founded in 1946 and is recognised as one of the most well established law firms in the area.
You will work directly with the Private Client team of lawyers, offering a high level of support and enabling them to work as efficiently as possible.
In return you will receive a competitive remuneration coupled with the opportunity to be part of a successful team and a firm dedicated to continued growth.
The Role
As a PA, we expect you to deliver the following:
- Being the first point of contact for clients and having regular communication with them (taking messages, arranging meetings etc.)
- Creating/amending letters and documents and collating enclosures
- Supporting your colleagues with high quality and pro-active support
- Opening, closing and archiving files
- Ensuring documents and records are stored appropriately, including ensuring filing and e-filing is up to date and accessible
- Arranging payments in and out and transfers between accounts
- Diary and event management and booking courses
- Dealing with a range of client specific billing requirements
The Candidate
- This role will suit you if you like to prioritise your own workload, work closely to deadlines, and work with minimum supervision and under pressure.
- Communication will be one of your strong points and we expect you to be able to use your initiative, anticipating your colleagues' and clients' needs in advance wherever possible and with sound organisational skills and flexibility
- You will have excellent spelling and grammar and you will be proficient with the usual Microsoft packages, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint skills and comfortable with learning new software packages
- Previous experience of working within a legal environment and, ideally, experience of audio typing would be beneficial, but is not essential for this role.
If you have some experience of working within a busy administrative or PA role in a professional services environment, and have a genuine interest in working within the legal sector, we would very much like to hear from you.
