Are you a highly organised, proactive individual with a background in administration? We’re looking for a Legal Assistant to join a small, friendly law firm based in Oxfordshire (OX20). This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, takes initiative, and thrives in a varied role.
You’ll play a key part in supporting our client’s small legal team and ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day operations. You'll be the first point of contact for clients, so a professional and approachable manner is essential. Your responsibilities will include:
· Acting as the first point of contact for clients via phone, email, and in person
· Diary and calendar management for solicitors, including scheduling meetings and appointments
· Preparing and formatting legal documents, correspondence, and reports
· Responding promptly and efficiently to emails and enquiries
· Answering and directing phone calls
· Setting up and coordinating client meetings
· General administrative support and office management duties
This role would suit someone with proven administrative experience – previous experience in a law firm isn’t necessary – just the appetite to learn the ropes!
You’ll be:
· Exceptionally organised with great attention to detail
· A confident communicator with a warm and professional demeanour
· Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively
· A team player with a positive, can-do attitude
· Comfortable working independently and using initiative
· Proficient in Microsoft Office and familiar with general office systems
