Edwards Employment Solutions are proud to be recruiting a Administration Assistant on behalf of a highly respected, busy and successful legal practice based in Chesterfield. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is procedural, methodical and detail-driven, and who takes real pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

The Role – What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This is a process-heavy, structured administration role supporting an experienced fee earner within a thriving conveyancing department. You’ll be trusted with repeatable, deadline-led tasks that are critical to keeping files moving efficiently and compliantly.

Your responsibilities will include:

✔ Managing day-to-day administrative tasks including typing, filing and updating the firm’s case management system

✔ Opening, maintaining and closing legal files accurately and in line with set procedures

✔ Diarising files for review and ensuring key dates are met

✔ Chasing outstanding information and documentation in a timely, professional manner

✔ Handling routine client and estate agent communications by phone and email

✔ Preparing standard correspondence and routine conveyancing documentation

✔ Supporting registration applications and basic conveyancing processes

✔ Assisting with general departmental administration and occasional cover at nearby offices if required

✔ Supporting light marketing and networking activities when needed

This is a busy, structured environment where attention to detail and consistency matter. You’ll be doing similar tasks regularly - and that’s a good thing if you’re wired that way.

This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who:

✔ Enjoys working to clear processes and defined systems

✔ Finds comfort in routine, repetition and structure

✔ Takes pride in accuracy, organisation and doing things properly

✔ Is happy working to deadlines and keeping multiple files on track

✔ Likes knowing exactly what’s expected of them

✔ Gets satisfaction from a job done correctly, not rushed

If you’re someone who loves lists, systems, checklists and order — you’ll thrive here.

Skills & Attributes We’re Looking For

✔ Strong administrative and IT skills

✔ Excellent written and verbal communication

✔ A reliable, dependable and consistent work ethic

✔ A calm, focused approach under time pressure

✔ Team-oriented but confident working independently

✔ Professional, organised and conscientious

Legal or conveyancing experience is helpful but not essential — this role is equally suited to someone with strong admin experience who wants to build a career in the legal sector.

✔ Permanent position from day one

✔ Option to work 4 days a week if this is preferred - £17.8

Kpa for 28 hours OR 35 hours over 5 days for £22.2
