- Overseeing workflow, managing absences and ensuring the seamless delivery of support services across the office.
- Acting as a trusted mentor to the team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
- Leading secretarial/admin induction training, identifying ongoing training opportunities and recommending improvements in processes and systems to enhance efficiency and service.
About you
To be successful in this role, you will be a highly experienced legal secretary or EA within a professional services environment.
You will also bring:
- A strong work ethic and proactive attitude
- Flexibility, initiative, and a positive approach
- Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
- Outstanding communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities
- Experience with legal practice software (e.g. NetDocs, Affinity) – helpful but not essential

What will we offer you?
Our close-knit legal support team is built on collaboration and mutual support. At Cowell Clarke, working together is at the core of everything we do. Across our Sydney and Adelaide offices, you’ll find a team ready to back you up every step of the way.
In addition, Cowell Clarke offers a broad range of financial and social benefits in addition to market leading careers and professional development programs. We’re focused on developing our people’s careers whilst ensuring they maintain a healthy lifestyle.
