We are seeking a Legal Secretarial Assistant to join our dynamic Legal Services team. Reporting to the Legal Services Improvement Manager, you will play a vital role in providing efficient secretarial, administrative, and clerical support to Fee Earners, Principal Solicitors, and the Service Director. In this role, you will handle a variety of secretarial tasks, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery of work to meet deadlines. Your contributions will support the seamless delivery of services within the council's Legal Services, helping drive effective operations and service excellence. If you're passionate about legal support and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative setting, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. Please note this role does not attract sponsorship. About you Are you looking for a rewarding role where your skills in organization and communication can shine? As a Legal Secretarial Assistant, you'll play a vital part in supporting our team with a variety of tasks to ensure smooth and efficient operations. You'll need accurate word processing skills and the ability to work methodically and independently, using your own initiative within defined procedures. Strong communication skills are a must-you'll interact politely and tactfully with people from all backgrounds, handle competing priorities under pressure, and bring a confident, professional telephone manner to the role. Proficiency in general PC/Windows-based systems and previous office experience will set you up for success. You should also be comfortable with occasional physical tasks like lifting, carrying, or retrieving files and paperwork as required. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace, and the ability to recognize and address the effects of discrimination is an important part of this role. This is a public facing role so you'll need to show off your fluency in speaking and writing English. If you're approachable, adaptable, and eager to excel in a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you! About us Our ambitious Luton 2040 Vision - that no-one in Luton will have to live in poverty - is at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that our people are remarkable, talented, committed and passionate about serving our residents. The people of Luton depend heavily on this council - and that means our workforce! Are you ready to realise the remarkable and help us deliver our vision? Application Process Because of the nature of this job, it will be necessary for the appropriate level of criminal record disclosure to be undertaken. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare all unspent cautions and convictions; and also any adult cautions (simple or conditional), and spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2020). A person's criminal record will not in itself prevent a person from being appointed to this post. Applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying. However in the event of the employment being taken up, any failure to disclose such offence, as detailed above, will result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Authority.
