Current Vacancies

 
 
 
Berwins Solicitors are looking for “no ordinary” assistant to support the two fee earners in our hard-working family team.
 
The role necessitates excellent secretarial skills with audio-typing (utilising digital dictation and at a minimum typing speed of 60 WPM) forming a significant part of a day’s work, and as such experience of secretarial and administrative work is very desirable. Experience within a law firm, however, is not essential as training on our systems and processes will be given.
 
Candidates need to be well-presented and well-organised and able to prioritise and multi-task. A professional and capable approach to their work is essential. A confident but assuring telephone manner is required, as is a positive, “can do” attitude and a desire to work within a team environment.
 
The ideal candidate will be keen to provide high standards of service to clients and colleagues alike, will work accurately (having a good eye for detail) and will relish the opportunity to take responsibility for tasks within their remit and to use their own initiative.
 
The nature of the work requires a high degree of competence with word processing packages and common business tools (such as Outlook) for both email and calendar.
 
The role is full-time (Monday – Friday; 9 – 5.30 on Mondays to Thursdays and 9 – 5 on Fridays) and salary will depend on experience.
 
If you are interested, please send in your curriculum vitae to Caroline Davison, Operations Director. Her email address is CarolineDavison@berwins.co.uk
