Our client, a respected law firm based on the outskirts of Macclesfield, is looking to welcome a proactive and professional Family Legal Assistant / Paralegal to their supportive Family Law department.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in a Family Law Paralegal or Legal Assistant role
• Highly organised with great attention to detail
• Strong communication and client care skills
• A discreet and empathetic approach to sensitive cases
