Entry level Legal Administrators needed! £21,000

Superb entry level Administrator role

Initially 6 months…BUT this firm have continued to grow for the last decade so it's highly likely there'll be a permanent seat ready and waiting at the end.

Salary up to £21,000 - great benefits (not that they'll matter when you're working at a firm like THIS!)

Based in the City, this firm offers fantastic exposure to a Corporate environment without the associated 'stuffiness' - the Partner's even leave their doors open!

This Administrator role represents an opportunity work in a bustling department and work closely with the current Legal Secretaries and PAs there.
