The Position:

Executive Assistant

Following a period of rapid growth at Thrive Law, an Executive Assistant is now required to support its Managing Partner and the wider business.

This will not be like working at most law firms. You will be joining a forward thinking, dynamic and innovative business, working alongside a friendly, supportive and professional team ‘where people matter’.

The role will involve working closely alongside Managing Partner Jodie Hill on a wide variety of tasks whilst the business continues to grow its volume of both clients and employees. Experience of working in a law firm is desirable but not essential.

What is important is that candidates demonstrate excellent communication skills and experience of agile, pro-active working in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment. Demonstrable experience of effective and proactive calendar and inbox management is essential.
