  • Diarise key dates, including court and tribunal directions, and ensure timely compliance.
  • Handle general document management, including scanning, organising, and maintaining paper and digital files.
  • Draft and send out routine case correspondence and dealing with the Employment Tribunal portal system for a number of fee earners.
  • Check availability and coordinate witness and counsel arrangements, including booking counsel and preparing instructions.
  • Prepare, index, and serve tribunal bundles.
  • Submit payment requests and chase settlement cheques and orders as required.
  • Perform other administrative duties as needed.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Essential Skills & Experience:
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and manage a changing workload.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Confident communicator, both verbally and in writing, with the ability to build rapport and inspire confidence in clients and colleagues.
  • Ability to work effectively under pressure and meet strict deadlines.
  • Capable of making decisions within own areas of responsibility and working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Proficient in IT, including Microsoft Word and Excel, with experience using case management and finance systems preferred.
  • A co-operative team player with a positive and motivated approach to work.
Desirable Qualifications & Experience:
  • A law degree or related legal qualification.
  • Previous experience of working with case management systems (e.g. Visual Files).
This role offers an excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive individual to develop their legal career within a busy and fast-paced environment.
