"We're not hiring because somebody left. We're hiring because somebody progressed."
Legal Assistant, Family Department
Head Office, Lancashire
Full-Time, permanent, 35 hours per week, Monday–Friday
Salary + bonus scheme + 28 days holiday + benefits to support your health and wellbeing.
The reason we're recruiting is a good one.
One of our Legal Assistants, Evie, has recently been promoted to a Paralegal role within the team. As she takes the next exciting step in her career, we're now looking for someone to step into the role she leaves behind.
The best bit is Evie isn't going anywhere.
She'll be right here to help you settle into the position she knows inside out, while our experienced Paralegal, Mark, supports Evie in her transition into her new role.
It's a great example of how we work at Napthens. We invest in people, create opportunities for progression and support one another every step of the way.
