Senior Legal Secretary

Job Description

 We are looking for a Senior Legal Secretary to join us at Jones Chase Employment Lawyers.

This is not a standard secretarial position. As Senior Legal Secretary, you will play an integral role in the smooth and efficient running of the firm. You’ll provide high-level support to the Managing Partner and the wider team, ensuring deadlines are met, information flows effectively, and clients receive exceptional service at every touchpoint.

You’ll combine first-class organisational skills with a proactive, can-do attitude, contributing to both the operational and developmental success of the firm.

The details
• Provide high-level support to the Managing Partner and team across all areas of the firm.
• Take full ownership of inbox and diary management, ensuring priorities, deadlines and communication are managed seamlessly.
• Handle client correspondence, document preparation, billing and compliance administration.
• Demonstrate exceptional initiative, accuracy and discretion in all tasks.
• Full-time, with flexible or hybrid working from home or our Chancery Lane offices.
• Salary banding between £40-50,000 dependent on experience.
• 40 days’ holiday per annum.
• 10% profit share bonus on work introduced.
• Competitive benefits package and strong progression opportunities.

Who we are
Jones Chase was founded in 2014 and has experienced year-on-year growth since inception. We pride ourselves on being an innovative, specialist employment law firm.

We are unashamedly client obsessed, we have inspiring leadership, we support each other, there is an excellent team spirit and we have great values. Our lawyers enjoy top quality work, genuine flexible working within an incredible, supportive team. 

We pride ourselves on being a brilliant place to work and we were recently “Flexified” – the first law firm to be officially recognised as a flexible employer by Flexa.

Who you are
• The role is suited to someone with at least 5 years’ experience as a Senior Legal Secretary or EA within a City law firm, supporting senior partners.
• Proven ability to manage complex inboxes and diaries with precision, discretion and exceptional attention to detail.
• A proactive self-starter who takes initiative, delivers with accuracy and keeps the firm running smoothly behind the scenes.
• Calm, professional and client-focused, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A team player with a positive, can-do attitude, ready to contribute to the firm’s continued growth and success.

How to apply
We don’t believe in covering letters, we would rather have a chat with you. All conversations and applications will be held in strict confidence. Please send your CV to recruitment@joneschase.com
