Legal Admin 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 support team is the engine behind it all – keeping things running smoothly, handling the details, and making sure our consultants and clients get what they need, when they need it.

This is your chance to join a firm that’s growing fast and genuinely values its people.

The Role – Legal Admin Assistant

We’re looking for an organised, detail-loving, and motivated Legal Admin Assistant to join our support team in Poole. It’s a varied, fast-paced role where accuracy, initiative, and teamwork are everything. From scanning and file prep to ID checks and file openings, you’ll be involved in all the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our legal work flowing.

You’ll learn in stages – starting with post and print, then moving onto compliance and file opening – with lots of support along the way. We also help onboard new consultants, so building friendly working relationships is key too.

If you’re someone who loves admin, enjoys ticking things off, and thrives in a busy team – we want to hear from you.

This is an office-based role in Poole.

A few things you’ll be diving into:

Post, Scanning & Printing

• Open, sort and scan incoming post
• File documents in the correct matter folders and share with consultants
• Prepare outgoing post including bundles, recorded/special deliveries, and franking
• Handle general printing, document prep, and use of printers/scanners

Compliance & ID Verification

• Send ID checks, client care letters and payment requests using our e-verification system (Legl)
• Troubleshoot client issues and review incoming results
• Certify ID for clients who prefer paper-based verification
• Learn what’s acceptable as proof of ID and source of funds

File Opening & Admin

• Open new legal files in LEAP and edit case details
• Ensure all compliance requirements are met
• Support both our consultants and internal legal team with accurate file setup

Consultant Support

• Help onboard new consultants and provide friendly, professional support during their first few months
• Build strong working relationships with team members across the business

General Admin & Teamwork

• Support both consultants and clients with queries by email, phone or teams
• Work closely with other support team members to manage priorities
• Pitch in when deadlines are tight – we’re all about teamwork here!

What we’re looking for:

• Some office, admin or customer service experience (but we’re open-minded!
• A love of admin, structure and detail
• Great organisation and time management
• Clear, friendly communication skills
• A team player who takes pride in their work
• Confident with Microsoft Office and happy to learn new systems (we’ll train you!)
• Discreet and professional – especially with sensitive client information
