Legal Secretary

Newcastle Maitland Hunter, Australia Rarekind People Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Some people are wired for detail. They don't just notice the missing comma, they hear the pause that should have been there. They don't just take a message, they remember the nuance in someone's tone. In a law firm, those things aren't "nice to have". They're essential.

This role is for a Legal Secretary who thrives on being the steady hand in a busy practice. You'll be the person clients first meet, the one who keeps the files moving, the calendar straight, and the court documents prepared on time and in order. The lawyers might argue the cases, but you'll make sure they're set up to succeed.

What you'll do

  • Be the first point of contact for clients, managing calls, appointments, and enquiries with professionalism.
  • Prepare and edit legal documents, court forms, briefs and correspondence with precision.
  • Liaise with courts, barristers, and other stakeholders to keep matters progressing.
  • Manage diaries, deadlines, and file systems so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Handle invoicing, payments, and general administration that keeps the practice running smoothly.

Who you are

  • Proven experience as a Legal Secretary
  • A natural organiser with strong attention to detail.
  • Someone with excellent communication skills who can balance professionalism with warmth.
  • Experienced in legal administration (LEAP and Microsoft Office experience is a big plus).
  • Comfortable working independently but equally collaborative in a team setting.
  • Committed to confidentiality, discretion, and supporting the bigger picture.

Why this matters

The right Legal Secretary doesn't just support the practice, they shape the way clients experience it. You'll be part of a team that values quality, professionalism and care, with the chance to build a long-term career in a supportive environment.

If you're the kind of person who finds satisfaction in being the calm, reliable presence behind the scenes, this is your opportunity to step into a role where those skills are truly valued.
