We are looking for organised and efficient candidates who have the ability to prioritise whilst maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. You will need to be able to use your own initiative to carry out tasks independently when necessary, but as collaboration is key at Shoosmiths, you will also need to be able to work alongside team members. Our open plan offices make it easy for you to work together with your colleagues and achieve your goals.
We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver a quality service to both internal and external clients with a friendly and helpful approach and so are looking for candidates who can demonstrate this too. Excellent written and verbal communication and listening skills will help you achieve this. You will need to be IT literate with experience of using Word, Excel and the internet and have good numeracy skills.
As part of our busy Recoveries Services team, you will be flexible with the capability to adapt to change, adopt new practices and cope under pressure but with the ability to recognise when to seek assistance.
We work hard here and expect you to as well but a healthy work/life balance remains important to us.
For this role, you will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs grades A-C (or equivalent) to include Maths and English.
