Job Details

We're looking for a Document Production Specialist to join our team on a 12 month contract.

In terms of location we can be flexible, although you would need to be able to access one of our offices as and when necessary  (Bristol, Southampton, Plymouth, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh or London).

The team

Our Executive Services team ensure that our fee earners provide a seamless and efficient client service and is made up of 3 'hubs'.  We have a Personal Assistant hub, which provides organisational and client care support, an Executive Support Assistant hub, which provides support with administrative tasks and a Document Production hub, which provide a transcription service. We have a number of Executive Team Leaders across the business, one of whom is responsible for the day to day running of the Document Production hub. This is who you will report to.

The role

You will play a crucial part in supporting our fee earners across the business by dealing with large volumes of work, including audio and copy typing and the production of complex, lengthy documents. Day to day tasks will include formatting and presenting work in house style, proof reading documents and working with track changes and document comparisons using CompareDocs. You will also assist with updates to precedent document libraries and help deal with and resolve queries as and when they arise.

What are we looking for?

It goes without saying that you will need excellent knowledge of the MS Office suite and experience of working with track changes and DocsCorp. You will need a typing speed of 65 wpm or above and of course have a high level of attention to detail.

Alongside these technical skills we are also looking for someone who is a real team player and can build good relationships with the people they support around the business. You should be organised and have a flexible approach to managing workloads.
