We’re working with a supportive and forward-thinking law firm in Blandford Forum that is expanding its marketing function. They’re now offering a brand-new opportunity for a Business Development and Marketing Assistant to join their team, supporting the firm’s highly regarded Private Client department.

This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to combine marketing, client engagement, and commercial thinking in a professional setting. You’ll play a key part in developing the firm’s brand, helping to attract and retain clients, and supporting fee-earners with content and promotional activity.

What you’ll be doing:

• Assisting with marketing campaigns for the Private Client team.
  
  
• Helping fee-earners to create engaging content, including blogs and social media posts.
  
  
• Handling new client enquiries and promoting additional services where appropriate.

• Contributing to wider marketing projects and firm-wide promotional activity.
  
  

What we're looking for:

• At least 6 months’ experience in an office or administrative role (ideally)
  
  
• Excellent communication and writing skills – you’ll be confident producing content and dealing with clients.
  
  
• A proactive, self-motivated approach and a genuine interest in marketing and professional services.
  
  
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  
  
• Comfortable using social media and basic marketing tools.
  
  

Desirable but not essential:

• Previous experience in a legal or private client setting.
  
  
• Some knowledge of wills, probate, or other private client services.
  
  

What’s on offer:

• A salary of around £25,000.
  
  
• A genuinely supportive and friendly team environment.
  
  
• The chance to be part of an exciting period of growth for the firm’s marketing division.
  
  
• Real career development potential, including support for further qualifications and potential to grow a team in future.
  
  
• The opportunity to gain valuable experience in a respected legal setting while shaping your own marketing career.
  
  

This would suit someone early in their career who’s eager to develop within a dynamic, professional, and client-focused environment.
