Court of Protection Legal Assistant

Job description

A well-established and growing Legal 500 law firm based in Blandford Forum is seeking a Legal Administrator to join its specialist Court of Protection team. This opportunity would suit a legal graduate with a genuine interest in private client work and a long-term ambition to build a career within the legal profession.

Looking for your first step into private practice?
Keen to join a firm with a clear and structured progression pathway?
Motivated to develop your career within a supportive and collaborative team?

This firm is recognised not only for the quality of its legal work but also for its commitment to nurturing and progressing its people. Many members of the support team have trained internally and developed into fee earners, with several continuing to build long-term careers at the firm. With ongoing growth across the department, this is an excellent time to join.

The Role – Court of Protection Legal Administrator As a Court of Protection Legal Administrator, you will provide administrative support to the team on a range of sensitive and complex matters, including:

  • Deputyship applications

  • Management of property and financial affairs

  • Applications to the Court

  • Statutory wills

  • Capacity and best interests matters

  • Liaising with clients, families, medical professionals, and third parties

You will be based at the firm’s Blandford Forum office, working closely with experienced administrators and qualified fee earners within a friendly and supportive environment.

This is primarily an administrative role and requires a confident and competent grasp of IT systems and case management software. In return, you will benefit from a structured training framework, hands-on experience, and the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge within Court of Protection work while establishing yourself in a respected private practice setting.

Due to the office location, applicants will need to either live locally or have access to their own transport.

With a strong reputation, an inclusive culture, and genuine long-term career progression opportunities, this represents an excellent opportunity to take the first step in your legal career within a highly regarded Court of Protection team.
