Location: Full time Office-based in Cambridgeshire
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Start Date: As soon as you're ready to jump in

Salary - Competitive

The Role: Not Just a Typist in the Corner

This isn’t one of those legal secretary roles where you just file things and make coffee (though a good brew is always appreciated).

This is a fast-paced, detail-driven position where your support genuinely helps move property transactions forward.

As a Legal Administrator you’ll be the right hand to Fee Earners, handling everything from drafting documents and managing diaries to speaking with clients and keeping the paperwork water-tight.

If you're all about keeping things running smoothly, staying one step ahead, and being the quiet force behind a busy legal team — read on.

What a Good Day Looks Like

• Preparing and typing legal documents including contracts, completion statements, and Land Registry forms
• Handling incoming calls and emails with professionalism (and the patience of a saint)
• Liaising with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders, and other firms
• Managing diaries, scheduling appointments, and keeping everything on track
• Opening and closing files, chasing documents, and updating case management systems
• Keeping everything compliant, confidential, and consistently correct

What You’ll Bring (Besides a Steady Typing Speed)

• Experience in a legal administration role or ability to demonstrate strong transferable skills
• Strong administrative and organisational skills — you don’t drop balls
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you’re clear, warm, and professional
• Proficiency with case management software and Microsoft Office
• A proactive mindset and the ability to anticipate what’s needed before being asked

You’ll Fit Right In If…

• You get a weird satisfaction from a perfectly organised file
• You can keep a cool head when Friday completions hit full speed
• You’re the go-to problem-solver who others rely on for the small (but vital) details
• You enjoy being part of a tight-knit team where everyone pulls together
• You like your day to fly by — and it usually will

What You Might Not Love (But We’re Being Honest)

• There’s pressure — especially around deadlines
• Sometimes you’ll need to juggle multiple urgent tasks at once
• You won’t always get a quiet afternoon to “just catch up” (though we try!)
• It’s admin-heavy, but accuracy matters as much as speed

Why It’s a Great Role

• You'll be a key part of the client experience — not just behind the scenes
• Your contributions will be valued (and noticed)
• You'll work in a supportive environment with friendly faces
• Opportunities to develop and progress within the legal team
• A genuinely rewarding role where no two days are ever quite the same
