Job Description
Knights has always done things differently. In 2012, we became the first UK legal sector organisation to secure private equity investment, shifting from a traditional partnership to a corporate structure and clearly separating management from fee earners.
Our model's success led to significant growth over six years, and since our AIM market listing in June 2018, we've seen consistent increases in turnover and profits.
With more than 1,400 colleagues across 26 locations, our strong organic growth combined with quality acquisitions, we've strengthened our position in key markets. We are equipped to execute our growth strategy and aim to be the leading regional legal and professional services firm.
We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to achieve our ambition. Our distinctive business model and culture remains clear differentiator from other legal services businesses enabling us to attract professionals who prefer to work in a modern business.
Knights are now seeking a talented individual to join our busy Records and Files team. Your role will involve managing legal documentation coordinating digital and physical access to our stored records with a primary focus on ensuring our colleagues and clients have quick access to key information to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day activities.
The role will be within a small team based at our newly created Records Centre in Stoke.
Experience
You will be working with documents stored for our clients. Experience working with large volumes of documents, files, libraries, and archives or in a legal/professional business or similar environment would be desirable but not essential.
As a Document Retrieval Assistant your key responsibilities will be:
* Document retrieval from our newly created document store
* Scanning of documents on extract
* Data Entry
* Manual Handling of files
* Administrative duties
* Maintaining records
* Digital Archiving
Knights have 26 offices nationwide within this role you may be asked to travel from time to time where there is a business need to do so.
We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.
Most excitingly of all, you have the opportunity to help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.
