Regulatory Risk and Resolution Team
We have a top-ranked Regulatory Risk and Resolution team at VWV helping commercial clients (rather than individuals) for the most part, some of which are household names, to ensure they have the right structure, policies and procedures in place to satisfy their regulators and run effectively.
This team also helps them when things go wrong - this may be after a critical incident (such as a health and safety issue) or an allegation of mismanagement (perhaps following a complaints process). This can be urgent, confidential and highly sensitive, such as when dealing with allegations of abuse. Much of the work involves schools.
Role Description
We are excited to be recruiting for a full-time Secretary/PA based in Bristol. The team is split across Bristol and London and the successful candidate will primarily be working with Bristol lawyers, sharing the team's workload with another part-time secretary.
Is This Your Next Career Move?
This is a team and a role offering plenty of opportunity to gain both internal and client-facing experience, to support a large and thriving team, to help with business development and to help us drive efficiency.
You'll support a team of lawyers, building strong relationships with both the Regulatory Compliance. You'll manage diaries, book meetings and travel, help with accounting and billing, produce timely and accurate documents and much more.
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.
This is such a vital role so if you're looking for variety where you can truly make an impact, this could be the opportunity for you.
Where Will I Be Working?
At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst this unusual time has proved we can work effectively as a business from home, we're currently working to a hybrid model of office and home working. We have a "grown-up" working culture and try to be flexible and agile in the way we work. We are happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
Why Choose Us?
There are so many reasons to stop and explore VWV further. We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration are key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself. We invite you to watch this short video on the right-hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.
