Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
I am looking to hear from legal secretaries who are organised, proactive and detail-focused, with excellent communication and administrative skills.
You will have experience working as a legal secretary, preferably within a property/conveyancing environment. However, we are also keen to hear from candidates with strong secretarial or administrative experience who are looking to develop their career within the legal sector.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will be confident dealing with clients and external contacts, able to manage competing priorities and comfortable working as part of a busy team.
Benefits:
- Salary of up to £28,000, depending on experience
- Full-time, permanent position
- Office-based role in Harrogate
- The opportunity to join a highly successful and established property team
- A varied role with excellent exposure to property work
- A supportive and professional working environment
- The opportunity to develop your skills and career within a leading legal team
If you are an experienced Legal Secretary looking for your next opportunity in Harrogate, I would love to hear from you.
