2 weeks ago


Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia Connected People Full time

We're recruiting on behalf of a respected and busy family law firm that is seeking a professional and personable Receptionist to be the face of their practice. If you're looking for a long-term role where you can genuinely contribute to a close-knit team, this could be the opportunity for you.

Ideally, you'll have:

  • Prior experience working in family law or a legal receptionist position
  • Confidence using legal practice management software such as Leap or Smokeball
  • Full-time availability and commitment to a permanent role
  • A genuine desire to work in a reception role long-term (not a stepping stone role for students)
That said…
We understand that this combination is rare. If you're a standout receptionist from another industry with the maturity, professionalism and emotional intelligence to handle highly sensitive enquiries, we'd still love to hear from you. Just keep in mind—family law can be emotionally demanding, and success in this environment takes resilience, empathy, and strength of character.

Why this role?
  • You'll be working with a kind and collaborative legal team that values loyalty and support
  • It's a full-time role in a reputable family law firm with strong processes and a stable client base
  • You'll be the firm's first point of contact, playing a vital role in creating a warm, calm experience for clients during difficult times
This role won't suit everyone—but if you're someone who brings warmth, professionalism, and a steady hand in high-pressure moments, we want to hear from you.
