The Role
This is a newly created PA position, reporting directly to the Executive Assistant, Kelly. The successful candidate will provide dedicated support to the Executive Assistant while assisting with the needs of the Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, the two most senior leaders within the business.
The role will involve occasional travel between the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices, typically once a month or every couple of months, with all travel expenses covered.
What We're Looking For
We are seeking a confident and proactive individual who thrives in a fast-paced professional environment. The ideal candidate will have:
- Strong diary and calendar management experience
- Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
- The ability to work autonomously and take ownership of tasks
- A forward-thinking mindset with a willingness to introduce new ideas and efficiencies
- A keen interest in process improvement and continuous development
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Areas of Support
The successful candidate will primarily support teams across:
- Dispute Resolution
- Conveyancing
- Personal Injury
There will also be occasional involvement with Marketing and HR-related activities.
Legal sector experience is not essential. The client is primarily focused on finding the right personality and cultural fit rather than a specific industry background.
Interview Process
- Stage 1: Microsoft Teams interview with Fern and Kelly
- Stage 2: In-person interview with a member of the senior leadership team
The client is focused on securing the right long-term fit and therefore does not require someone who is available to start immediately.
