  • Responding to inbound calls, couriers and emails from clients, ensuring they feel looked after, supported and heard.
  • Assisting with preparing matters for conference and hearing, including preparation of court and legal documents and general correspondence.
  • Proactively providing chargeable and non-chargeable support to our legal team with general administrative duties, to obtain maximum compensation for clients, from file opening to closure.
What you'll bring
  • Previous administration/business support experience.
  • Professional presentation and a client service focus.
  • Accurate typing skills with intermediate Word & Excel skills.
  • Keen eye for detail in document management and collation skills.
  • A great communicator, both verbally and in writing.
  • Empathy and a resolute passion for helping people, especially those who have undergone trauma.
  • Recognition of the importance of your role as the gateway to client support.
  • The ability to work 38 hours per week, between 8:15am – 5pm Monday to Friday.
