Position Overview & Specifications

We are seeking a legal assistant / paralegal and a legal secretary for our Canterbury residential property team.

They are busy roles, so you will need the ability to work at pace and with good humour while managing a varied workload. You’ll need to be good with clients, have an eye for detail and generally be the sort of person who likes to do their very best each day.

While experience would be an advantage, it is not essential as both candidates will be given full training and help in progressing and developing their careers (we wish to appoint two people in total).

The legal assistant / paralegal role would suit a law graduate or an experienced legal secretary who wishes to take the next step up the career ladder.

Boys & Maughan is one of East Kent’s largest and oldest legal practices. We are the market-leaders in the area, with six local offices, and have won a number of awards for our conveyancing services. Clients frequently give us outstanding feedback and we recommend that you read some of our reviews on our website.

You will be based at our office in St George’s Place, Canterbury, and we could ask you to work at different locations from time to time.

An adaptable and flexible approach is paramount coupled with a ‘can do’ attitude to work. The position is full time and permanent. Your hours will be 9.00am to 5.00pm with 25 days’ holiday per annum.

Please note only applicants with relevant experience will be contacted. If you like the sound of us, then we would really like to hear from you.

To apply please send a CV and covering message to Kerry Curson, Human Resources Manager, Boys & Maughan, by email.

If you are unsure which post would be best suited to you, you would be welcome to express an interest in more than one role. You would also be welcome to call Kerry on 01843 234000 if you would like an opportunity to discuss either of the posts before applying.
