Do you have the professionalism, organisation, and confidence to help create a welcoming and efficient office environment? At Redkite Solicitors we’re seeking a polished and reliable Administrative Assistant to support the smooth running of our busy Ledbury office on a full-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.
