About the Role
Johnsons Solicitors is looking for a highly organised, proactive and adaptable Office Manager to join our busy Belfast city centre office.
This is a varied, fast-paced role offering the opportunity to get involved in multiple areas of the business, from HR and compliance to facilities management and quality assurance.
We're looking for someone who enjoys a challenge, can confidently juggle competing priorities and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly.
Previous experience in a legal environment is not required. We're much more interested in finding someone with the right organisational skills, attitude and ability to manage a varied workload.
Key Responsibilities
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.

- HR Administration: Supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee records and general HR processes.
- Quality Management: Coordinating ISO 9001 processes, internal audits and external audit preparation.
- Facilities Management: Overseeing office facilities, liaising with suppliers and coordinating maintenance and operational requirements.
- Compliance: Managing insurance renewals, regulatory administration, practising certificates and other compliance-related requirements.
- General Office Management: Supporting operational projects, managing deadlines and ensuring the smooth running of the office.
