Narrative

This is an ideal role for an enthusiastic and capable secretary for this busy team. Candidates must be organised, be able to use their own initiative and have a highly flexible ?can do? approach to work. Robert Bryan spends much of his time out of the office and therefore we are looking for someone who is able to work on his or her own and be self motivated. The successful candidate must be a team player and have excellent communication and client care skills. Previous experience of working in a law firm is desirable but not a pre-requisite.
