Job description

Location - Adelaide, South Australia, 5000

About The Company: Join a well-regarded, mid-sized Adelaide law firm based in the heart of the legal precinct. Recognised in Lawyers Weekly and named a BDO SA Fast Mover two years running, this firm has built a reputation for strong legal skills paired with a genuinely down-to-earth culture. They place real weight on staff wellbeing, not just as a line in a job ad.

About The Role: Work closely with one of the firm's Directors in a PA and Admin capacity, with exposure to other partners and the broader business. It's a varied role for someone who likes structure one day and problem-solving the next.

Job Responsibilities:

• Managing the Director's calendar and accurate message taking
• Organising meetings, events and catering
• Assisting with document preparation, internal comms and meeting notes
• Matter-related admin: brief production, billing, filing and e-filing with the Court
• Providing reception relief and overflow admin support as needed
• Assisting with social media content and general day-to-day admin
• Occasional personal and errand-based tasks for the Director as part of the role

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Has strong administrative and organisational skills, with PA experience an advantage rather than a strict requirement
• Can anticipate needs and take initiative without waiting to be asked
• Communicates confidently, both written and verbal
• Holds a current driver's licence and has access to a reliable car, as some driving is required for the role
• Has experience in a legal or professional services environment, which would be well regarded but is not essential

Why You Should Apply:

• Genuine variety: no two days look the same, from EA-style support to matter admin
• Culture that's actually lived: wellbeing isn't a slogan here, it shows up in how the firm operates
• Recognised firm: award-nominated and featured across SA business and legal media
• Room to grow: support a Director directly, with exposure across the wider firm
