Legal Secretary

£24,000 – £27,000 + Benefits

Manchester City Centre

After World Mental Health Day last week, I took some time to speak to my candidates and really understand how an employer can support with ensuring their mental health is maintained.

Here are a few answers:

• Flexible, hybrid working to ensure family and home life is still an important part of life


• A team that support each other and create a great place to work


• A management team that understand the importance of their staff and do whatever they can to support them whether that be home or work life


• Good benefits package to show you’re appreciated for your hard work

Now, coincidently, every aspect above that came up in conversation, this business in Manchester that I am recruiting for offer you just that…

A fantastic firm to join, independently owned, now the number 1 in the UK for their area of law and no matter the growth rate or the client base, this business still to this day and will carry on doing so, put their staff at the heart of everything they do.

As the Legal Secretary, you will not just be expected to dictate all day long having no variety like most of these positions, your role will be completely varied; you will support in the management of the office (dealing with clients calls, stationery ordering, managing the post) as well as supporting the head of department and Solicitors with diary management, meeting management and typing of documents.

Complete diverse role meaning you will be involved with a client case from the beginning to end so you will see a real purpose in the role and have the chance to up skill your current secretarial duties.

What’s so important for somebody coming into this role is personality – due to the firm dealing with vulnerable clients, it’s essential you have an upbeat, friendly personality where you can support the clients and show empathy along the way.

What’s even better about joining this firm is the benefits they offer you – 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, attendance and company hitting target bonus paid yearly, healthcare scheme, pension, hybrid working (2-3 days in the office a week) and flexible working hours.

They are committed to being an employer where staff feel they want to stay until retirement and being the firm that employees love coming to work.
