Experience of preparing legal documents and managing case files.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective working relationships.
Good IT skills and experience of using case management systems and Microsoft Office applications.
A commitment to providing excellent client care and customer service.

Desirable Experience

Experience of local government legal practice.
