Private Client Secretary

Hart Reade LLP are seeking to recruit a Private Client Legal Secretary, based at our Eastbourne office.

Applicants should have excellent secretarial skills including fast accurate audio typing, along with confidence and ability in using IT.  This will include a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook and Excel).  Experience of using a case management system would be an advantage but not essential as training will be provided.  As part of this role you will also be given access to, and required to use, online accounts (e.g. the online court system, anti-money laundering searches etc) as well as office equipment (scanning, copying and printing).

The role requires someone who is highly organised and with a keen attention to detail.

Candidates will be required to have good written and spoken English and the ability to communicate well with clients, colleagues and other external contacts.  We pride ourselves on the client care we provide; therefore, applicants should be confident and personable both on the telephone and face to face.

The successful candidate will be adaptable, motivated and prepared to help out where required in this busy office.  Recent experience of working in Private Client law (Probate, Wills and Trusts) is preferred.

If you would like to be considered for the above position, please send your up to date CV and covering letter to Mrs. B Ticehurst, HR & Administration Manager, Hart Reade LLP, 104 South Street, Eastbourne BN21 4LW, bticehurst@hartreade.co.uk.
