Job Description

Alexander Bennett Solicitors are currently seeking a new colleague to join our hard-working and lively administration and paralegal team. The position will initially be based at our office in Luton but we anticipate that Leighton Buzzard will become the main location within 6 months, as we build up our presence there.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the South East's leading Criminal Law firms at an exciting time of expansion. We are a busy and ambitious team, looking to take on a hard-working and reliable Administrative Paralegal who would take pride in their role. The position requires strong administration, organisation and interpersonal skills and would provide the selected candidate with a significant amount of exposure to the legal processes, institutions and professionals working within criminal law.

The ideal candidate should be fluent in English, both spoken and written, hold a minimum of 5 GCSEs (grade 5 or above), incl. English and Mathematics, have his/her own car and full driving license and be passionate about adding value to the team. Graduates and accredited candidates would hold a distinct advantage but holding such qualifications is not a pre-requisite for securing the role.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Providing a range of administrative, client care and legal work services to support the solicitors with their caseloads;

- Liaising with Police officers by telephone and email correspondence;

- Speaking to clients and other third parties on the telephone;

- Drafting client letters and emails;

- Managing the Firm's post on a daily basis;

- Updating the Firm's electronic diary;

- Answering the telephone;

- Ordering stationary

- Being a positive and reliable member of the team!

If you are interested in applying for this role, please apply now by submitting your CV directly through Indeed or by sending it to legal@alexandersolicitors.co.uk

Applications will close on 30th May 2025 but may close earlier if we receive a sufficient number of good quality applications.
