Legal Support Manager

£25,576 pa - 37.5 hours per week

Greater Manchester

An excellent opportunity to combine your considerable secretarial skills and experience of working in a legal environment, you'll be providing vital support to a busy legal services team and joining one of the UK's leading charities.

Pivotal to the effective and efficient day-to-day operation of our North West Legal Services offices, you will:

  • Manage the team's practice through ensuring administrative, client file, financial and quality systems run smoothly
  • Supervise, develop and support the region's legal support team
  • Work closely with the Managing Solicitor to enable the team to provide advice and legal services and meet the demands placed upon it
  • Help monitor income and expenditure and maintain the team's financial accounts
  • Provide full administrative and secretarial support to the Managing Solicitor
  • Advise new solicitor services on the setting up of legal support and administration systems and provide ongoing consultancy where required

You'll need:

  • A knowledge of Legal Aid procedures and billing
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Word and the ability to use Excel and PowerPoint
  • Good audio and copy typing skills with a minimum speed of 70wpm using a PC
  • Excellent time and workload management skills
  • Strong communication, relationship building and networking skills
  • Sensitivity to the needs of others and a genuine interest on their views
  • Management/supervision experience


More than one million people a year come to us for advice and support via our website, help lines, and national network of services. We help people to find and keep a home in a place where they can thrive, and we tackle the root causes of bad housing by campaigning for new laws, policies and practice.

Benefits include 30 days holiday and flexible working. We are committed to giving all applications equal consideration.

Until there's a home for everyone.

Closing date: 13th February 2012.
