Job description

Business Development & Marketing Assistant

Are you a creative and proactive individual with a passion for marketing and business development? Are you looking for a role with real scope for growth and the chance to make a meaningful impact from day one? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re working with a supportive and forward-thinking law firm in Blandford Forum that is expanding its marketing function. They’re now offering a brand-new opportunity for a Business Development and Marketing Assistant to join their team, supporting the firm’s highly regarded Private Client department.

This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to combine marketing, client engagement, and commercial thinking in a professional setting. You’ll play a key part in developing the firm’s brand, helping to attract and retain clients, and supporting fee-earners with content and promotional activity.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Assisting with marketing campaigns for the Private Client team.

  • Helping fee-earners to create engaging content, including blogs and social media posts.

  • Handling new client enquiries and promoting additional services where appropriate.

  • Supporting business development initiatives, events, and client engagement strategies.

  • Contributing to wider marketing projects and firm-wide promotional activity.

What we're looking for:
  • At least 6 months’ experience in an office or administrative role (ideally)

  • Excellent communication and writing skills – you’ll be confident producing content and dealing with clients.

  • A proactive, self-motivated approach and a genuine interest in marketing and professional services.

  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

  • Comfortable using social media and basic marketing tools.

Desirable but not essential:
  • Previous experience in a legal or private client setting.

  • Some knowledge of wills, probate, or other private client services.

What’s on offer:
  • A salary of around £25,000.

  • A genuinely supportive and friendly team environment.

  • The chance to be part of an exciting period of growth for the firm’s marketing division.

  • Real career development potential, including support for further qualifications and potential to grow a team in future.

  • The opportunity to gain valuable experience in a respected legal setting while shaping your own marketing career.

This would suit someone early in their career who’s eager to develop within a dynamic, professional, and client-focused environment.
