Hybrid Support Assistant bei Thompsons Solicitors

Looking for your next administration role? Here's your chance to join a dynamic team and play a pivotal role in supporting employment lawyers and trade union clients. 

As a Support Assistant, you'll provide vital administrative and executive support to our Professional Support Lawyers and legal teams, contributing to the creation of contemporary learning and development initiatives nationwide. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a collaborative and cross-functional knowledge and legal teams, assisting in the coordination of training events and managing resources for our clients both for our team in Manchester, and remotely for our team in Bristol.

 You’ll be supporting our Employment Rights teams both in Manchester and remotely—handling everything from drafting documents and managing diaries to liaising with clients and supporting case management. Whether it’s preparing standard letters, sorting incoming mail, organising client events, or updating cost spreadsheets, the role is critical to the success of the department. 

We’re on the lookout for a highly organised, dependable, and proactive Support Assistant to join our team. 

This role isn’t just about admin—it’s about being a key player in a team that works across specialist legal areas. You’ll be trusted to make the right calls, keep information flowing, and ensure everything stays on track. With solid IT skills, a knack for communication, and a client-focused approach, you’ll help ensure the teams run smoothly.

You’ll need experience in a legal admin environment, excellent time management skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for delivering top-notch support. Familiarity with electronic case management systems or have a background in Employment Rights, Personal Injury, or Criminal Law would be a bonus.

If you're the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, keeps things running like clockwork, and loves being at the heart of a team that makes a real difference—this might just be your next move.

We offer a role where your skills are valued, your input matters, and your work supports meaningful legal outcomes. If you're ready to take your next step in a collaborative, progressive team—apply today.
