Legal Office Admin/Secretary - Criminal Defence | Ashford
Join our close-knit team at Tony Harden Solicitors, based in Ashford, Kent. We are ideally seeking someone to join us on a part-time basis (24 hours per week), working over 3 days per week between 09:00–17:00 in our office. There is flexibility to expand to a full-time basis.
This is a dedicated office administration position. Although we support professional development, this role is not designed to accommodate concurrent legal studies (i.e. SQE preparation) due to workload demands. The successful candidate will be expected to focus fully on administrative responsibilities and the smooth running of the office.
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.

- Preparing, editing, and amending legal documents using Partner for Windows and other platforms

- Supporting compliance procedures, including conflict checks and file opening
