Calm and efficient under pressure, with strong multitasking abilities
-
An excellent communicator, comfortable supporting senior professionals

Why this role stands out:
-
A rare part-time Legal PA opportunity at a leading Scottish law firm
-
Flexible, hybrid set-up with a say in your Wednesday schedule
-
Genuine, supportive leadership with a strong investment in the team

A sociable, inclusive team culture with a “no-ego” vibe
