Junior Operations Assistant

Who Are We?

Woodstock Legal Services isn’t your typical law firm. We’re breaking the mould – ditching the jargon, delivering expert advice, and doing things differently in the legal world. Our operations team is the glue that holds everything together behind the scenes – and we’re looking for someone brilliant to join them.

This is your chance to be part of a firm that’s growing fast and cares deeply about its people.

The Role – Junior Operations Assistant

We’re on the lookout for a bright, proactive, and organised Junior Operations Assistant to support our Executive Assistant, CEO, and Directors. This is a varied and fast-paced role where no two days are the same – one minute you’ll be helping plan a company event, the next you’ll be supporting our onboarding process, chasing a tech issue, or pulling together documents for compliance.

You’ll be exposed to everything from HR and culture to finance, IT, events and operations – and you’ll learn a huge amount along the way. If you love being helpful, are happy to roll your sleeves up, and thrive in a busy environment, this could be a brilliant next step for you.

This is a hybrid role based in Poole.

A few things you’ll be diving into:

Executive & Admin Support

• Assist the Executive Assistant in managing diaries, travel bookings, meeting prep, and internal comms for the CEO and Directors.
• Keep admin systems organised, up to date, and running smoothly.

Culture & People

• Help onboard new starters (employees and consultants), arranging welcome packs and training materials.
• Assist with internal engagement initiatives, events and wellbeing campaigns.

Compliance & Risk

• Support document management, compliance deadlines, and help maintain records for insurance, SRA requirements, and CQS accreditation.
• Get involved in reviewing and updating internal policies.

IT & Tech

• Be the friendly go-to for basic IT support and troubleshooting (don’t worry, you’ll have help).
• Support the rollout of new software and systems across the firm.

Operations & Facilities

• Help with everyday office coordination and estate management – from restocking supplies to chasing contractors or making the office look great for a client visit.
• Support health and safety processes.

Finance & Accounts Support

• Liaise with the accounts team to gather reports, track expenses, and assist with finance-related tasks and compliance.

Project & Event Support

• Help organise internal projects, team events, and firmwide initiatives.
• Support the marketing team with event logistics and operations admin.

What we’re looking for:

• Some office, admin or customer service experience (but we’re open-minded!)
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Great communication – friendly, clear, and happy speaking with all sorts of people
• A natural helper – someone who loves ticking things off and making life easier for others
• A keen learner with a proactive, can-do attitude
• Comfortable with tech, MS Office, and happy picking up new systems
• Discreet, professional, and trustworthy with sensitive information

Why Choose Us?

Career Growth: You’ll gain experience in HR, compliance, events, operations and more – and we’ll support your development all the way.

Supportive Team: You’ll work alongside people who genuinely care and want you to succeed.

Impact: Your work will make a real difference to how our business runs day to day.
