Are you an experienced Legal Secretary or Administrator ready to take the next step into team leadership?
We’re recruiting for a well-established national law firm in Manchester seeking a Senior Legal Administrator / Team Supervisor to lead a small team within their highly regarded Private Client department. If you’re someone who loves keeping operations running smoothly, supporting others, and bringing structure to a busy legal team — this could be the perfect next move.
About the Role:
You’ll manage a team of six experienced legal administrators and be a key point of contact for keeping the day-to-day support function efficient and effective. The role is hands-on, combining leadership with practical administration duties.
What you’ll be doing:
- Supervising and supporting a team of legal support staff
- Overseeing file openings/closures, compliance checks, and billing
- Liaising with fee earners and management to ensure smooth operations
- Managing payment processing, documentation, and deadlines
- Helping the team prioritise and stay on track in a busy department
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in a legal administrative or secretarial role
- Previous responsibility for mentoring, supervising, or managing others
- Strong organisational skills and a proactive, approachable attitude
- Knowledge of legal processes, billing systems, and compliance (Private Client experience is a bonus, but not essential)
Why apply?
- Join a reputable national law firm known for its supportive culture
- Great opportunity to move into a team leadership position
- Friendly, collaborative working environment
- Hybrid working (1 day WFH after probation)
- Excellent long-term career development and progression
This role would suit someone who’s been a Legal PA, Secretary, or Senior Administrator and is ready to step into a more structured leadership role — or already supervising a team and looking for a change in environment.
