Are you an experienced Legal Secretary or Administrator ready to take the next step into team leadership?

We’re recruiting for a well-established national law firm in Manchester seeking a Senior Legal Administrator / Team Supervisor to lead a small team within their highly regarded Private Client department. If you’re someone who loves keeping operations running smoothly, supporting others, and bringing structure to a busy legal team — this could be the perfect next move.

About the Role:

You’ll manage a team of six experienced legal administrators and be a key point of contact for keeping the day-to-day support function efficient and effective. The role is hands-on, combining leadership with practical administration duties.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supervising and supporting a team of legal support staff
• Overseeing file openings/closures, compliance checks, and billing
• Liaising with fee earners and management to ensure smooth operations
• Managing payment processing, documentation, and deadlines
• Helping the team prioritise and stay on track in a busy department

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in a legal administrative or secretarial role
• Previous responsibility for mentoring, supervising, or managing others
• Strong organisational skills and a proactive, approachable attitude
• Knowledge of legal processes, billing systems, and compliance (Private Client experience is a bonus, but not essential)

Why apply?

• Join a reputable national law firm known for its supportive culture
• Great opportunity to move into a team leadership position
• Friendly, collaborative working environment
• Hybrid working (1 day WFH after probation)
• Excellent long-term career development and progression

This role would suit someone who’s been a Legal PA, Secretary, or Senior Administrator and is ready to step into a more structured leadership role — or already supervising a team and looking for a change in environment.

Apply now to take the next step in your legal support career.
