Job Type: Full-time / Part-time job share
Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers Ltd is expanding! We’re excited to open our brand-new office in the heart of Uppermill in the spring and we’re looking for a welcoming and professional Legal Receptionist & Office Manager to be the face of our firm.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone with:

• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• A proactive and professional approach
• Strong organisational and multitasking abilities
• The ability to handle confidential information with discretion
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)

While previous experience as a receptionist – especially in a legal setting—is a plus, it’s not essential. More than anything, we’re looking for a go-getter—someone who takes initiative and gets things done.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths
• Legal administration or secretarial qualifications (e.g., CILEx Level 2/3 in Legal Administration) – beneficial but not required
• Familiarity with legal terminology and office procedures – preferred but not essential
  This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of an established and growing firm while working in a welcoming and professional environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the first point of contact for clients, visitors, and professionals, our Uppermill Receptionist will play a key role in creating a positive first impression. This position is ideal for a people person who enjoys providing excellent customer service in a professional setting.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Welcoming clients and visitors with a friendly and professional approach
• Managing front-desk operations, handling telephone enquiries, and overseeing client communications
• Acting as a primary key holder, responsible for opening and closing the office daily
• Handling payments and managing local post
• Coordinating appointments and meetings for solicitors and legal staff
• Overseeing boardroom and meeting room operations
• Providing general administrative support and ensuring the smooth running of the office
