Job description

Legal Secretary – £30,000 + Clear Career Progression + Work-Life Balance - Spalding

Ready to leave outdated legal support roles behind? This Legal Secretary opportunity is your step into a more modern, supportive, and rewarding legal career.

About the Company

This is not just another traditional law firm. It’s a national, Legal 500-recognised organisation that’s rewriting the rulebook on legal careers—where legal excellence meets employee wellbeing. Renowned for its commitment to sustainability, flexible working, and mental health support, this firm is setting a new standard across the legal industry.

With continued organic growth, it’s now looking for a Legal Secretary to join the team in Spalding.

About the Role

This Legal Secretary position goes beyond the usual admin checklist. It’s a critical role within a high-performing legal team where collaboration, respect, and progression are part of the everyday culture.

The successful Legal Secretary will provide top-tier support to solicitors and partners, contributing to the smooth and efficient delivery of legal services. From digital dictation to diary management, you’ll ensure nothing falls through the cracks—while gaining exposure to a wide variety of legal work that will help you grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality secretarial and administrative support across multiple legal departments
• Prepare, format and proofread legal correspondence and documentation
• Manage diaries, coordinate meetings, and arrange travel/accommodation logistics
• Liaise professionally with clients, courts, and external contacts
• Maintain digital and physical case files, ensuring compliance and accuracy
• Support fee earners with day-to-day operational needs

What They’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Legal Secretary or legal admin professional
• High-level organisational skills and strong attention to detail
• Fast, accurate typing (minimum 65 wpm at 90% accuracy)
• Confident with Microsoft Office and digital dictation tools
• A proactive, can-do approach with the ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Professionalism when handling confidential or sensitive client information
• A basic understanding of legal processes and terminology is desirable

Why This Legal Secretary Role Stands Out

• £30,000 salary (DOE)
• Genuine work-life balance – flexible working patterns built around you
• Private medical insurance, mental health support, and wellbeing apps
• Modern IT systems and paper-lite processes
• Structured career development – with internal progression pathways
• Collaborative culture – no egos, no glass ceilings
• Award-winning approach to ESG, diversity, and sustainability

Why Join This Firm?

This Legal Secretary role is for someone who wants to feel appreciated, supported, and challenged—in equal measure. You’ll be joining a firm that values its people just as much as its clients and gives you the space to grow without sacrificing your work-life balance.

If you’re a Legal Secretary looking to escape old-school environments and build a career where your role is respected, now is the time to make your move.

Apply today and join a firm that puts people first—every time.
