Are you an experienced Legal Cashier looking to join a respected, friendly, and long standing Solicitors firm in Chelmsford? This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a supportive accounts team within a growing practice known for its strong reputation, professional standards, and genuinely welcoming culture. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working in a busy legal finance environment, thrives on accuracy, and wants to develop their career within a firm that truly values its people.

• A famously dangerous amount of cake in the office kitchen!
• Supportive, family run environment with long standing staff retention
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm hours
• Office based role within a friendly, collaborative team
