About us and the opportunity

Do you love a busy day, a varied to-do list and a team with real energy? Meet Edwards Sluiters – Employment Lawyers. We’re a nationwide specialist employment law firm and a passionate bunch of lawyers with an awesome support team, who genuinely love what we do. We’re looking for another admin superstar to bring their spark to our Auckland office and wider national team.

Our practice is growing fast, and our current Executive Administrator is heading off on parental leave in early 2027. Together, these have opened up an exciting opportunity to add another administrator to the mix. This is a full-time, Auckland-based, salaried position, reporting to the Practice Manager. We’re an extremely busy practice, so expect variety, competing priorities and plenty of opportunities to pitch in. If you love bringing order to a busy day and helping a team keep its momentum, you’ll feel right at home.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll be the person who helps keep the wheels turning, from client invoices to everyday tech hiccups:

• Onboarding clients and new lawyers.
• Prepare and send client invoices.
• Follow up outstanding accounts and assist with debt recovery.
• Stay on top of office tasks, supplies and resources.
• Keep data entry and document management accurate and organised.
• Provide administrative support to our Auckland office and the wider national team.
• Provide low-level tech support and help the team resolve everyday technology issues.
• Keep the Auckland office running smoothly day to day in our extremely busy practice.

What We’re Looking For

You’re an organised, proactive multitasking whizz who enjoys a lively pace and gets a buzz from helping others. You bring:

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail — even when the day gets busy.
• Great communication skills and a friendly, professional manner.
• Confidence providing low-level tech support and troubleshooting everyday issues.
• Excellent multitasking skills: you can juggle competing priorities, meet deadlines and work independently.
• A positive, team-first attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves wherever you’re needed.
• A strong understanding of Microsoft programs — essential.
• Experience using Actionstep — an advantage.

What We Offer

• A welcoming, supportive team of passionate lawyers and admin support who love what they do.
• A varied Auckland-based role with connections across our national team.
• Training and ongoing support to help you find your feet and keep building your skills.
• A competitive salary based on your skills and experience.
