Job description

Legal Personal Assistant to Head of Residential & Commercial Property

Location: Bath

TSR Legal is delighted to be working in partnership with a leading law firm in their search for an experienced Personal Assistant to support the Head of Residential and Commercial Property at their Bath office.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a leading regional law firm, known for its friendly, collaborative culture and dedication to professional excellence. The role has become available due to the planned retirement of the current postholder.

The Role:

As the Personal Assistant to the Head of Department, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the smooth running of the Residential and Commercial Property team. You will act as the first point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders when the Head of Department is unavailable, and provide a high level of administrative and secretarial support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Opening files and conducting compliance checks (conflict, ID, AML).
• Preparing and amending legal documentation with accuracy and efficiency.
• Liaising with the Land Registry and assisting with requisitions as needed.
• Managing diary appointments and scheduling both in-person and virtual meetings.
• Handling confidential internal matters with discretion.
• Archiving and retrieving post-completion documentation as required.
• Maintaining clear communication and strong working relationships across departments.

About You:

We’re looking for a confident, proactive and highly organised individual who thrives in a busy legal environment. You will need:

• Previous experience as a PA or Legal Secretary, ideally within property law.
• Excellent attention to detail and document management skills.
• A professional and personable manner when liaising with clients and colleagues.
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office and legal practice management systems.
• The ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Why Join?

The firm offers more than just a job – it’s a place where your contribution is valued, your growth is supported, and your work is genuinely appreciated. You’ll be joining a close-knit team that balances excellence in client service with a workplace culture that values wellbeing and personal development.
