  • Strong IT skills and ability to learn new systems quickly (experience with e-bundling software or platforms like OneDrive is ideal)
  • Reliable, professional, and calm under pressure
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with great attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
  • Polite, friendly and of smart appearance
  • Able to work well with a wide range of people, while also being confident working independently.
  • Handle confidential information discreetly

What We're Looking For

You'll be someone who takes pride in supporting others, thrives in a traditional but friendly environment, and enjoys contributing to a well-run operation. The chambers operates with a strong sense of teamwork, inclusivity, and wellbeing, fostering a culture where everyone's contribution is valued.

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary: £30,000-£31,000 (depending on experience)
  • Hours: 40 hours per week on a shift system between 8am and 6.30pm
  • Holiday: 20 days plus bank holidays (rising to 22 after one year and 25 after two)
  • Pension: 6% employer contribution
  • Additional benefits after probation: bonus scheme (up to 15% of salary), season ticket loan, permanent health insurance, life insurance, private medical insurance, and a bonus half-day 'birthday' holiday

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected and well-established chambers, gain insight into high-profile legal work, and develop your skills within a supportive and professional environment.
