Job Description

Administrative Assistant

Do you have the professionalism, organisation, and confidence to create a welcoming and efficient front of house experience? At Redkite Solicitors, we're seeking a polished and reliable Front of House Administrative Assistant to support the smooth running of our busy Gorseinon office on a part time basis.

As the first point of contact for clients, visitors, and callers, you'll manage reception while providing essential administrative support to the wider team. From assisting fee earners with documents and scheduling to coordinating meetings and maintaining an organised office environment, you'll play a key role in ensuring the day to day operations run seamlessly.

Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full service law firm, we're driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we're proud to be recognised as an employer of choice, with a number of our lawyers recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers, reflecting the strength and quality of our expertise. Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.

Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office, for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.

• Support fee earners and colleagues with day to day administration, helping everything run smoothly and on time.
• Open and manage client files with care, preparing documents and maintaining accurate, compliant records.

• Provide a thoughtful, concierge style service by managing meeting rooms, greeting guests, and supporting key visits and events.
• Work closely with colleagues across offices and assist with file organisation, contributing to a connected and supportive team environment.

Requirements

• Warm and polished-you naturally put people at ease while maintaining a professional, confident presence in every interaction.
• Highly organised-you juggle multiple priorities with ease, keeping the front desk and wider office running smoothly.
• A dependable team player-you take ownership, pitch in where needed, and are someone others can rely on.
• Discreet and professional-you handle sensitive information with care, integrity, and confidentiality at all times.
• Clear and confident communicator-you express yourself with clarity and warmth, whether face to face, on the phone, or in writing.
• Service minded-you take pride in supporting others, anticipating needs, and creating a positive experience for clients and colleagues alike.
• Comfortable with technology-you're confident using Microsoft Office, phone systems, and digital tools to stay organised and efficient.
• Flexible-you're willing to travel occasionally to support other offices, with a full driving licence.

What is in it for you?

We're committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and high performing legal team. You'll be joining colleagues who are not only legally excellent but also commercially astute and down to earth. We value trust, teamwork and excellence, and offer an environment where you can grow and succeed.

• A collaborative, friendly working environment with regular team connection days.
