Position: Family Legal Secretary
Location: West Sussex
Salary: Commensurate with experience

We're recruiting on behalf of our client, a dynamic and growing law firm in West Sussex, for a confident and capable Family Legal Secretary.

If you're an experienced Family Legal Secretary and the kind of person who thrives on keeping everything (and everyone) organised, can spot a typo at 50 paces, and doesn't flinch when the printer jams again-this role may have your name on it.

About the Firm
Our client is a well-regarded, fast-paced practice that specialises in all things family law-from amicable separations to complex financial arrangements and the occasional pet custody negotiation. The team is known not just for its legal expertise, but for being supportive, collaborative, and a genuinely enjoyable group to work with. (They don't wear capes, but they probably should.)

The Role
You'll be the organisational force behind a team of busy family lawyers, keeping things ticking over and making sure no one misses a court deadline or a client meeting. You'll handle everything from drafting documents and managing diaries to answering phones and assembling court bundles-all with a cool head and a can-do attitude.

Key Responsibilities
* Answering calls, managing diaries, and scheduling appointments with the efficiency of a seasoned air traffic controller
* Drafting and proofreading legal documents with eagle-eyed attention to detail
* Managing both paper and digital files without losing your place (or your patience)
* Communicating with clients and courts in a professional and reassuring manner
* Assisting with trial prep and coordinating exhibits and witnesses like a logistical genius
* Maintaining confidentiality-because loose lips do more than sink ships in this line of work

What We're Looking For
* Previous experience in a legal secretary role, ideally within family law
* Excellent typing skills (bonus points if you can audio type while sipping coffee)
* Confident using Microsoft Office and legal case management systems
* Strong organisational and time-management skills-you don't just keep up, you stay ahead
* A calm, client-friendly manner, even when the stakes (or emotions) are high
* A sense of humour-because sometimes laughter really is the best stress reliever

What's in It for You?
* Competitive salary dependent on experience
* A close-knit team
* Free on-site parking
* Offices within easy walking distance of shops and cafés
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Ready to support a top-tier legal team and make a real difference to clients' lives-while keeping the office running like clockwork? Apply NOW!
