Carlton Legal Services Seeks Three Experienced Legal Secretaries

 Carlton Legal Services provides support services to legal firms and one award-winning, Glasgow city centre top tier law firm in particular. Please note that this is not an agency post.  Due to continued growth, Carlton Legal Services now seeks a further 3 experienced legal secretaries to join their team.

Candidates should have previous experience of working in a law firm, preferably dealing with a mixture of both criminal and civil litigation. The role involves all aspects of legal secretarial work – audio and copy typing; preparation of briefs; drafting legal documents; updating the case management system; diary management; dealing with telephone enquiries; undertaking file opening procedures; processing applications for funding; and all other associated administrative support services. The majority of the work undertaken is privately-funded and therefore attention to detail and the ability to provide ongoing reports to clients effectively and efficiently is key.

Previous experience of LawWare and Lexacom would be advantageous, but not essential.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills; the ability to work effectively both alone and as part of a team; outstanding time management; and the ability to work under pressure due to court deadlines. Typing speeds of no less than 70wpm are required and all candidates selected for interview will be subject to testing in this regard.

Salary circa £19.5K, dependant on experience. This is a permanent, full-time post. Normal hours of work will be 9am – 5.30pm.
