Legal Assistant - Wills & Probate

Location: Carmarthen

Start date: ASAP

Hours: Monday-Friday 09:00-17:00pm.

Our Legal Assistants are integral to the delivery of outstanding client service and case support. From legal research and drafting to direct client interaction and file management, you'll be hands-on in helping fee earners move cases forward. If you're highly organised, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where each day brings something new, we want to hear from you.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Legal Assistant to join our Wills and Probate team in our Carmarthen office on a full-time, permanent basis. In this role, you'll work closely with our fee earners to ensure the smooth and efficient progress of matters, with a strong focus on enhancing client experience and maintaining compliance.

At Redkite Solicitors, we're proud to offer a wide range of legal services that meet the evolving needs of our clients. With roots dating back to 1898, we've built a legacy of trust and support for individuals, families, and businesses in our communities. Today, we're a modern, growing firm with around 250 team members -- and we're proud to be an employer of choice.

What will you be doing?

Support the organisation and progression of legal matters, helping fee earners manage workloads effectively, prioritise tasks, and deliver an excellent client experience from start to finish. Assist with day-to-day legal work, including drafting correspondence, conducting legal research, liaising directly with clients, and preparing supporting documentation. Manage essential administrative processes, including file opening, document management, billing, and compliance checks -- keeping everything running like clockwork. Play a key role in handling new client enquiries, ensuring potential clients receive a warm, efficient introduction to our services and that follow-ups are handled promptly.

Who we're looking for:

Strong IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and the ability to pick up new systems quickly. Highly motivated and proactive, with a can-do attitude and a willingness to get stuck into a wide variety of tasks. Resourceful and solutions-focused, able to manage competing priorities and stay calm under pressure. Excellent organisational skills with a sharp eye for detail, ensuring accuracy in everything from correspondence to compliance. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with a professional and friendly manner when dealing with clients and colleagues.

What is in it for you?

We're committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing legal team. You'll be joining colleagues who are not only legally excellent but also commercially astute and down-to-earth. We value trust, boldness, excellence and teamwork -- and we want you to thrive as part of that.
