Job Description
We currently have an exciting opportunity to join our team within a highly reputable firm of Conveyancers located in Sussex.
Joining the Haywards Heath office, the focus of this role will be to provide key secretarial and administrative support to the Conveyancing Fee Earners.
Suitable applicants will ideally have a background in conveyancing but must have demonstrable experience of working to deadlines and providing excellent client service. Training and support provided within the firm has already seen previous Legal Assistants progress to Fee Earners with the encouragement and support through qualifications and study time.
Your previous experience, together with being highly organised and proactive in the management of correspondence, telephone calls, and financial information, will help you build trust and rapport with the fee earners you support, others within the firm, and our clients.
