Paralegal Assistant
Please note this is not an entry level opportunity for a law graduate.
We are working with a leading firm of patent attorneys who require an administrator / legal secretary to join the team in an assistant paralegal / team secretarial capacity. The role is based in their Southampton office and in the long-term will offer personal development opportunities. Hybrid working is available with three days a week in the office.

- Scanning documents
- Typing correspondence and documents – audio and copy
- Managing daily, weekly and monthly reminders
- Preparing standard and ad hoc reports in Excel
- Assisting with emails, post, photocopying
- Working with paralegals in the team
This role would suit someone who has completed CILEX or a similar qualification and has some experience in a team support or administrative position but our client will consider skilled candidates who may be looking to change sectors. Accurate touch typing skills are essential and these will be assessed at interview together with spelling and grammar. Advanced MS Office is also a must. Please note that you will also need GCSE Maths and English at Grade C or 5 and above.
This is a permanent position offering a salary of up to £23,000 per annum, dependent on skills and experience. With this the firm offers a very competitive benefits package including a bi-annual discretionary bonus.
