As the legal sector continues to strengthen, with many firms preparing for increased workloads, we’ve been engaged by two highly regarded clients to assist in recruiting for part time roles.

Both opportunities sit within firms known for their strong reputations and impressive staff retention. If you're seeking part time hours that better support your work/life balance, these could be the roles you’ve been waiting for.
They won’t be available for long, so if you're open to a conversation, now's the time to reach out.

Intermediate to Senior Legal Secretary – Property / General Practice (2 Days / Week, Job Share)

We’re currently seeking an experienced legal secretary at an intermediate to senior level to join a well-established general practice firm in a part time, job share capacity (2 days per week). This role is based just outside of the CBD.

This firm is a cornerstone of its local community, known for delivering exceptional legal advice in a warm, client-centric environment. The role offers a wide variety of matters, with a strong focus on property and general practice work, giving you the opportunity to stay engaged and contribute meaningfully.
You’ll be working alongside a supportive Practice Manager and a tight-knit team of legal professionals who pride themselves on maintaining a fun, social, and relaxed yet professional workplace. This is a team that values your contribution and fosters a collegial environment where you’ll feel both supported and appreciated.

Junior Legal Administrator / Returning Legal Secretary – School Hours (Mon–Fri, 10am–2pm)

We’re partnering with a specialist litigation firm in the CBD to recruit a junior legal administrator, or an experienced legal secretary returning to the workforce, for a part-time, school-hours position. This is an onsite role running Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm and includes the added benefit of car parking.

Perfect for someone navigating school drop-offs and pick-ups, this role offers the chance to work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. The firm is well-regarded for its expertise in emotionally complex criminal and family matters, and no two days will be the same. You’ll work closely with the Practice Manager across a range of duties — from organising team social events and networking functions to assisting authors with diary management, file preparation for court hearings, and general office support. Your ability to stay ahead of the game will be key to ensuring the smooth running of the day to day practice.
