IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS LIVE ROLE YOU MUST INCLUDE A FULL COVERING LETTER STATING WHY YOU FEEL YOU ARE SUITABLE FOR THE POST. 

Our Client, a law firm in Portsmouth is looking for an entry level legal administrator to join their litigation team. The role will focus on assisting the team and will involve general administrative tasks including filing, the preparation of bundles of documents for court hearings, daily post and photocopying.  Dealing with colleagues on the telephone is key - clarity and a mature approach are essential.  Candidates must be confident, organised and numerate but previous legal experience is not essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with the above qualities to break into law with a genuine interest in customer service and administration but will not suit a law graduate who is just looking for experience.  

The successful candidate will be a self-starter who is able to work well with the wider support team, is able to work independently and organise and manage a diverse range of tasks. You must have a demonstrable track record of remaining calm and efficient under pressure within an office environment and full training for this role will be given.

    Positive and enthusiastic approach
    Attention to detail and accuracy
    Highly numerate
    Organisational skills
