Letchers Solicitors are seeking an enthusiastic, hard-working, self-motivated and experienced legal secretary to join our busy Private Client Department to provide secretarial assistance in connection with Probate and Estate Administration, Wills, LPA’s, Court of Protection and Elderly Client administration. 

We aim to provide our clients with a very high standard of service and therefore, the ideal candidate will need to have exceptional client care and communication skills and be capable of producing a high volume of accurate work, demonstrating excellent attention to detail. Spelling and grammatical proficiency is a must.

We are looking for an individual who can work well as part of a team and can remain calm under the pressures of a demanding role. IT literacy and competence at audio-typing are essential, and all candidates need to be familiar with digital dictation and the use of a case management system as this will form a key part of the role.

Previous secretarial experience is preferred, together with experience of working within a Private Client environment would be a tremendous benefit. A positive attitude, flexibility (and a sense of humour!) will also be very desirable attributes.

The role will involve typing dictation (letters, forms, lengthy documents), filing and other office administrative tasks, answering telephone calls, sometimes attending clients and supporting the Fee Earners in the management of files. 

This is an interesting and varied role which would provide the right candidate with a great opportunity to contribute to the high levels of service we aim to provide to our clients.

We are a small, friendly and very welcoming firm with opportunities for career progression. You can be reassured you will be fully supported in a relaxed working environment with lots of experienced staff on hand to help you find your feet in the role.
