Temporary Legal Industry Roles - Immediate Starts Across Melbourne

Available immediately?

I may have your next assignment.

I’m currently recruiting for multiple temporary assignments across Melbourne’s legal industry - and they’re not all Legal Assistant roles.

I’m looking for experienced legal support professionals who are available immediately or at very short notice and are happy to jump into a new environment and hit the ground running.

CURRENT TEMP OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:

• Legal Assistants – across a range of practice areas
• Legal Receptionists – polished, professional front-of-house support
• Facilities / Office Clerks – keeping busy legal offices running smoothly
• Trust Accounts Officers – legal trust experience highly regarded
• Legal Administrators – general legal support and administration
• Team Assistants / Practice Support – supporting busy legal teams
• Other short-term legal support assignments as they arise

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
You’ll ideally have previous legal industry experience and be someone who can walk into a new environment, quickly understand what's required and get on with the job.

You might be:

Between permanent roles.
Looking for some flexibility.
Available while travelling.
Returning to work.
Building your legal experience.
Or simply looking for your next assignment.

Assignments can vary in length, responsibilities and location, so I’m keen to speak with people across different levels of experience.

A QUICK HEADS-UP
Some of my clients require candidates to complete a police check as part of their onboarding process.

Where required, you’ll need to be comfortable completing the relevant checks before commencing an assignment.

WHY TEMP?
Temp work can be a great way to:

• Get your foot in the door with leading law firms
• Keep your skills current
• Try different practice areas and environments
• Keep working while you decide what you want next
• Potentially transition into a permanent opportunity

And sometimes, you just need a job now.

That's where I come in.

I have 20+ years' recruitment experience, and I know the Melbourne legal market and the people within it.

If you're available now and have legal industry experience, I'd love to hear from you.

Send me your CV and let's have a conversation about what's available.

Assignments are subject to client requirements, availability and suitability.
