Legal Receptionist | Portarlington | Full-time | $65,000 - $70,000 + super
Looking for a legal receptionist role that offers stability, a friendly team, and a salary of $65,000 - $70,000 + super without the expectation of overtime?
An established small law firm on the Bellarine Peninsula / Portarlington area is seeking an experienced receptionist to step into an important front-of-house and administrative support role. Working closely with three lawyers, you'll be the first point of contact for clients, manage incoming calls, handle conflict checks, and help deliver the warm, professional experience every good legal practice needs.
This is the kind of role that suits someone who enjoys being organised, dependable and client-focused. The remit is clear, the hours are stable, and the team is small enough for your contribution to be genuinely valued.
Why you'll love it here
There are several real selling points here.
First, the structure: this is a full-time role, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm, with no overtime. That makes it highly attractive for someone who wants consistency and work-life balance.
Second, the package: $68,000-$70,000 + super is a solid salary band for a receptionist role in this market, and it appears in a position designed as a long-term support hire rather than a stop-gap.
Third, the environment: the firm presents as personalised, respectful and client-centred, with a practical and empathetic approach to legal service. It services clients across a range of private practice matters and appears committed to clear communication, realistic guidance and supportive client care.
Taken together, that means a rare combination of $68,000-$70,000 + super, clear hours, no overtime, and a small legal team where your work matters every day.

A confident, professional and friendly phone manner
Strong attention to detail and comfort handling conflict checks
