Location: North London (remote-first with occasional in-person meetings)

We’re working with a top-performing Director at a specialist employment law firm to appoint a highly organised and proactive Personal Assistant. This is a trusted, hands-on support role that would suit someone with strong administrative or EA/PA experience, particularly in HR, legal, or professional services. It's ideal for someone looking for a long-term position with no desire to qualify as a solicitor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a right hand to the Director, managing workflow, priorities, and diary coordination
• Handle a high volume of daily enquiries (up to 120 via email and phone), ensuring efficient triage and timely follow-up
• Manage multiple inboxes, delegate tasks where needed, and maintain smooth communication flows
• Open new client files, prepare engagement documents, and issue invoices
• Provide general administrative support to ease pressure across the legal team
• Liaise with clients directly, offering updates and ensuring a smooth, professional service
• Draft basic correspondence and HR-style documents (where experienced)
• Maintain accurate client and case records using internal systems
• Track deadlines and key dates to support smooth case progression
• Occasionally support with front-of-house duties or attend meetings alongside the Director

Candidate Profile:

• Strong background in PA or admin roles, ideally within HR, legal, or professional services
• Confident, intuitive, and highly organised – comfortable working independently and proactively
• Discreet and reliable, with strong judgement and a calm approach under pressure
• Remote-ready – comfortable working from home with occasional meet-ups in North London
• Not seeking a solicitor route – best suited to someone looking for a stable, long-term support role

Details:

• Working hours: Flexible (e.g. 10am–4pm; 4 days per week considered)
• Start date: ASAP – interviews taking place immediately
