Full-Time Legal Receptionist / Typist

Looking for a role where you can make a difference?

Are you friendly, organised and enjoy working with people? Do you have good typing skills and want to be part of a busy, supportive and forward-thinking law firm?

At Hopkins Solicitors, we’re looking for a welcoming and enthusiastic Legal Receptionist / Typist to join our team.

You’ll be the friendly face and voice of the firm, helping to create a great first impression for our clients while providing valuable administrative and typing support to our legal teams.

Previous experience working in a solicitors’ practice would be desirable, but we’re particularly interested in someone with a positive attitude, excellent communication skills and a willingness to get stuck in and be a team player!

What will you be doing?

• Welcoming clients and visitors to the office and ensuring they receive a friendly and professional service.
• Answering incoming telephone calls, directing enquiries and taking accurate messages.
• Managing incoming and outgoing post and general reception duties.
• Typing letters, emails and legal documents.
• Assisting with digital dictation and audio typing.
• Providing general administrative support to solicitors and legal secretaries.
• Maintaining an organised and professional reception area.
• Handling confidential client information with discretion and care.
• Helping the wider team whenever additional support is needed.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, approachable and confident when dealing with clients and visitors.
• Experienced in reception and administration, ideally within a solicitors’ practice.
• A confident typist with good accuracy and attention to detail.
• Comfortable using computers and willing to learn new systems.
• Able to assist with audio/digital dictation.
• Organised, reliable and able to manage competing priorities.
• A good communicator with a professional telephone manner.
• A team player who is happy to roll up their sleeves and help others.

A background in a legal environment would be an advantage, but a great attitude and the right approach to customer service are just as important.

Come work with us – a place where you can grow, thrive and be yourself!

We believe work should be about more than just turning up and doing a job. We want our people to feel supported, appreciated and given opportunities to develop.
