Are you a meticulous and hardworking Legal Secretary with the drive to further your career?

Are you looking to join a well-respected law firm that places great emphasis on career progression and employee loyalty?

Would you enjoy a role that has fast-paced and ever-shifting priorities?

We have an excellent permanent opportunity for an ambitious Legal Secretary to join this dynamic and forward-thinking regional law firm based in Worcestershire.

As a Legal Secretary within this firm's Corporate department, you will provide essential and effective administrative and secretarial support to a dynamic team of fee earners, assisting them with whatever they may need. On a day to day basis you will interact with clients over the phone and email in a friendly and polite manner, answering any queries they may have regarding their case. You must have exceptional typing skills, as you will be audio-typing large volumes of documents and bills via digital dictation. As a Legal Secretary, you will book appointments on behalf of fee earners, and complete any tasks that are delegated to you by the fee earners.

Proactive in everything that you do, you will undertake daily tasks such as producing documents to a high professional standard, and assisting with billing on a monthly basis, whilst also helping with any other financial administration as required by the team. Receiving and diverting inbound calls, assisting with diary management, processing incoming and outgoing post and handling ad hoc administrative tasks such as photocopying, scanning and archiving are all key parts of this varied opportunity.

For this role, you will need previous secretarial experience within a law practice, ideally within a litigation team in a fast-paced environment. You will have fantastic typing and IT skills, including Microsoft Excel, Word and ideally PowerPoint. You will be comfortable with digital dictation, and happy in a role that requires a high volume of document production. A high degree of initiative and determination is essential, along with a "roll your sleeves up" attitude in all that you do, as there will be the occasion where you are asked to cover reception duties.

In return, you will receive a fantastic salary and benefits package, as well as the chance to develop your career within this forward-thinking Worcestershire law firm that truly believes in career longevity.
