Job description

We’re hiring!We’re looking for two Legal Assistants to join our Real Estate – Education team. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are looking to advance their career in a supportive, innovative, and forward-thinking environment.In this role, you’ll assist schools with the property aspects of conversion to academy status. As you develop in the role, you may also be asked to provide a legal support service to the Corporate Education team, assisting schools with the corporate aspects of conversion to academy status.As you undertake training and build confidence in the role, you’ll be given the opportunity to take on increasing levels of responsibility for matters, whilst working under reducing levels of supervision. That said, your team and manager will still be there to support you as you learn and develop your experience within the team.This role will be based from our Nottingham office (although we may also be able to consider candidates who are based in Birmingham) and we offer flexibility to work from home, too. Our expectation is that, on average, you’ll work from home for no more than three days per week, with the remainder of your time either spent with your colleagues in the office or working from other locations as work demands dictate. This is an average expectation over time and we know that there will be variations from week to week. Equally, there will be individual circumstances in which a different pattern of work is needed, for example as an agreed reasonable adjustment for colleagues with a disability or long-term medical condition.We believe this approach:

• fits with our values and personality;
• will enhance our performance through greater flexibility;
• advances our ambitions as an inclusive employer – helping you better balance work and family/life commitments;
• offers opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint (travel, office services etc.), a key ambition underpinning our corporate sustainability plan.

Whilst we’re passionate about offering a flexible working environment, we want you to benefit from the vibrant office culture Browne Jacobson has to offer, too! We believe that a regular level of in-person contact is an important way to build connections with your colleagues, enhancing knowledge and idea sharing.We nurture talent at all levels and from every background and celebrate what makes people individuals. Law needs all voices to reflect the society it serves and we’re working towards social mobility, diversity and inclusion in our firm – and our profession. We strive to create meaningful personal and professional development opportunities and offer flexible working in support of a good work-life balance. We focus on wellbeing and individuality, so that all our people can thrive.We’re a Disability Confident Employer and will offer an interview to disabled applicants who best meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role. Tick on the application form if you’d like to apply through the Disability Confident Interview Scheme.If external support is required on a vacancy, a member of the Browne Jacobson recruitment team will release the role to one of our agency partners.
