Hawk 3 Talent Solutions are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a respected, multi-office law firm with an outstanding reputation across the South West.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm that genuinely puts its people first. They're known for their friendly, supportive culture, where collaboration is encouraged, development is invested in, and every team member is valued. Rather than looking for someone who knows everything already, they're looking for the right attitude—a proactive, organised individual who is eager to learn and build a long-term career within Private Client law.

Whether you're already working in a legal support role or have strong administrative experience and are looking to move into the legal sector, full training and ongoing support will be provided.

• Liaising with clients, solicitors and third parties via telephone and email
• Organising appointments, meetings and diaries
• Supporting fee earners with administrative tasks and case preparation
• Using Microsoft Office and legal case management systems
• General office administration including filing, scanning and document management

About You

The firm is far more interested in finding the right person than ticking every box.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous administrative experience, ideally within a legal or professional services environment
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• Good communication skills with a professional and friendly approach
• Audio typing skills or a willingness to develop them
• Confidence using Microsoft Office including Word, Outlook and Excel
• A positive attitude and a genuine desire to learn
• The ability to work independently while also enjoying being part of a supportive team

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £21,000 - £25,000, depending on experience
• 25 days holiday + BH
• Full training and ongoing development
• Genuine opportunities to build a long-term legal career
• A friendly, welcoming and supportive team environment
• Company pension
• Company social events
• The opportunity to join a well-established and growing law firm that values its people as much as its clients

If you're looking for an opportunity where your attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are valued just as much as your experience, we'd love to hear from you.
