About the role
We're looking for a Legal Assistant/Paralegal to join our team in Wangaratta. This is a full-time role for someone who wants more than an administrative job — we're looking for a genuine long-term team member, someone keen to build their skills over time and eventually take on carriage of their own matters under supervision.
You'll start with a broad mix of front-of-house, administrative and paralegal support, and as your experience and confidence grow, so will your responsibilities.
What you'll be doing
Greeting and welcoming clients, visitors and colleagues in a professional and friendly manner
Handling phone calls, emails and correspondence, and directing enquiries to the right team member




Arranging client appointments and managing the lawyers' calendars
Preparing, drafting and formatting legal documents and correspondence
Assisting lawyers with matter preparation, including basic legal research and drafting under supervision
Maintaining electronic and physical filing systems, including opening and organising client files
Liaising with clients, courts and other parties on the progress of matters
Providing general administrative support, including photocopying, scanning and document management
Assisting with the coordination of client meetings and firm events
Ensuring reception and meeting areas are well-presented
Progressively taking on greater responsibility for your own files and matters as your experience develops
What we're looking for
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a professional and friendly manner
Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and work under pressure
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
Previous experience in a legal or skilled services environment is preferred but not essential — we're prepared to train the right candidate
A keen eye for detail and commitment to accuracy
A genuine interest in the legal industry and a desire to build a long‐term career, including a willingness to undertake further study (e.g. Cert IV or Diploma of Legal Services) to progress toward paralegal work
What we offer
Genuine career progression, with a clear pathway from legal assistant duties toward paralegal work and eventual carriage of your own matters
Hands‐on mentoring and exposure across family law, property, commercial, and wills and estates work
A calm, supportive and values‐driven team environment
Remuneration commensurate with experience
If you're looking for a role where you can grow, learn and eventually make it your own, we'd love to hear from you. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
