**Te whiwhinga mahi/The Opportunity**

Looking for a supportive team environment? Passionate about customer service? Know your way around a keyboard? Thrive in a busy environment?

The PDS is looking for Legal Support Assistant to join our Hamilton team. Reporting to the Support Services Manager, your duties will include:

- assisting our legal secretaries and supporting the office
- setting up client files and collating legal documents
- processing client disclosure
- covering reception and a variety of general office administration tasks

As a key team member at the PDS you will have access to a very successful three-month induction programme for PDS support staff. You will also be able to attend professional development opportunities across the Ministry.

To be successful in this role you will need:

- Attention to detail
- Ability to take instruction and follow through
- The ability to work well under pressure
- Experience working to prioritise and meet deadlines
