**About HopgoodGanim Lawyers**
Are you looking for more than just a job? Do you want to enjoy coming to work each day? This is an opportunity to shine working with caring, passionate, collaborative and commercially savvy people at one of Australia's best law firms.
We are a leading independent law firm operating nationally and internationally, from our Brisbane and Perth offices. Every member of our team is focused on the delivery of exceptional outcomes for our clients and to providing a level of service that is second to none.
**Our role**
The team is seeking an experienced Family Law Secretary who is committed to providing exceptional support to practitioners within the team and also our clients.
This is a full-time role, joining a team of 4 other Secretaries/Legal Assistants.
To be successful in this role, you will have a minimum of 2 years' experience in a secretarial role in a law firm, and previous experience in Family Law will be highly regarded. You will be capable of managing an extremely busy workload and thrive working in a fast-paced environment as well as be able to prioritise and be self-motivated. You must possess impeccable communication skills and strong word processing abilities.
A high level of attention to detail, organisational skills and teamwork are essential for this role. This role will support a very busy team and as such, there is a high volume of work including dictation, brief preparation and administrative tasks such as filing and archiving. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, you will need to possess a high degree of empathy and commitment to confidentiality and privacy.
Some of your responsibilities will include:
- word processing and amendments;
- diary management;
- file management;
- monthly billing; and
- other ad hoc duties as required.
If you are someone who takes their work seriously but doesn't take themselves seriously, someone who looks for solutions rather than problems and someone who never says 'that's not part of my job', then HopgoodGanim is the right firm for you. Here, you won't just be a small piece of a big machine; you will be a key and essential part of the team.
**How to apply**
