RECRUITMENT - ENTRY LEVEL ADMIN ASSISTANT

---

WHY THIS ROLE IS SPECIAL

This role was created for law students seeking experience in a law firm - wanting to know what it’s like to work in a law firm; interact with lawyers and experience the law.  

In particular:
(a)  the role is a good entry pathway to becoming a paralegal.  Our previous admin assistants have progressed to become our skilled paralegals; 

(b) first and second year law students are encouraged to apply - many of our team members were first or second year students;

(c) we provide comprehensive training for the role - new team members are always pleasantly surprised with the quality and detail of the training;

(d) the role is part-time - you can choose to work two or three days a week, and reduce to one day a week during exams; and

(e) we are seeking up to three entry level legal admin assistants - so your odds of success are pretty good.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?

Your daily tasks include writing receipts, checking notices in e-newspapers, sending reminder emails, scanning documents, and keeping the office tidy.

Don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!  We provide comprehensive training and support, so that you can learn, improve and excel in this role.  No prior experience is required; we'll train you.

This is an entry role and suitable for persons with little or no experience in administration.
