Private Client Paralegal | Wills & LPAs | Whitby / Driffield
1+ years’ Private Client experience preferred | £25,000–£35,000 depending on experience | Full Time

If you’re a Private Client Paralegal with experience in Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, there is a genuine opportunity to step into a busy and established team across Whitby and Driffield.

The Private Client workload has increased significantly, particularly in Driffield, where the closure of a long-established local practice has resulted in additional instructions coming into the team.

The requirement is primarily for someone who can support clients with Wills and LPAs, although there is scope to develop your wider Private Client experience depending on your existing knowledge and ambitions.

You’ll work with an established local client base, including individuals, families and rural/agricultural clients, with the opportunity to build relationships and develop your technical knowledge in a supportive environment.

This could suit a Private Client Paralegal, Legal Assistant or experienced Wills & Probate Paralegal who already has some practical experience and wants to develop rather than simply administer files.

Ideally, you'll have:

• At least 1 year’s experience in Private Client
• Practical experience with Wills and LPAs
• Strong attention to detail and organisation
• Good client communication skills
• The confidence to deal with clients in a professional and approachable way
• An interest in developing your wider Private Client knowledge

You do not need to be a qualified solicitor for this position. If you're already experienced in Private Client and want to continue developing your career, the team is open to the right level of experience.

There’s also a strong work-life balance here. The firm operates a 9am–5pm working day, with no expectation of working beyond contracted hours, alongside a flexible approach to hybrid working and family commitments.

You’ll also benefit from a strong support structure, meaning you're able to concentrate on the legal work and client service rather than carrying an excessive administrative burden.

Salary: £25,000–£35,000 depending on experience.

If you're a Private Client Paralegal or Wills & Probate Legal Assistant based around Whitby, Driffield, Scarborough or the wider Yorkshire Coast / East Yorkshire area, and you're looking for a stable team with genuine flexibility, I'd be keen to have a conversation.
