Legal Support or Trainee Legal Support – Full time – Bournemouth
We have a fantastic full-time career opportunity for someone to join our Legal Support team within the Residential Land Department at our Bournemouth (Southbourne) office.
The role involves providing comprehensive secretarial support on a day-to-day basis to the Lawyers within the Land team, to assist them in progressing their caseload of conveyancing matters. The role is varied, and you will be working alongside other support staff.
Duties:
1. Preparation and presentation of documents
2. Typing (via digital dictation methods)
3. Inputting information into the case management system (SOS)
4. Processing of bills
5. Dealing with regulatory compliance
6. General administration such as booking client appointments and managing diaries
Candidate Profile: This role is ideally suited to candidates who have previous experience in a similar legal secretarial/support role with good overall knowledge of the administrative and compliance processes relating to the conveyancing process and procedure. However, consideration will also be given to legal secretarial candidates who are seeking to transfer their skills into Land from another area of law or candidates with the relevant transferable admin/secretarial skills who are seeking to train into a legal support role within a Law firm. The role may also appeal to recent graduates who possess some previous admin experience and are seeking to progress their career within law. This is a busy role, where there is a need to work to tight timescales and follow specific procedures; therefore, you must be well-organised, deadline-focused but unflappable.
The main duties are set out in the accompanying relevant job description: Legal Secretary (Skilled level) or Legal Admin Assistant (Trainee level).
Please review the job specification and relevant job description below and if you meet the criteria for the role then please either upload your CV and covering letter to the system or send your CV along with a brief covering email detailing your requirements to recruitment@hklaw.uk.
Due to business needs, this vacancy will be closed as soon as a suitable applicant is found; therefore, if the role is of interest, we recommend applying as soon as possible. Candidates who do not meet the criteria will not be contacted. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to all candidates; therefore, if you have not been contacted within 14 days of submitting your application, please assume that it has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
