**Te āhuatunga a te tūranga/About the Role**

The Public Defence Service is looking for a full time Receptionist/Administration Assistant to join our team in our Christchurch Office. We are a collegial and professional office with around 30 legal and support staff.

You will be joining an experienced and supportive team who have a genuine interest in sharing knowledge and supporting one another in an enjoyable, busy and sometimes challenging environment.

Your duties will include setting up reception duties, answering phone calls from key internal and external stakeholders and clients, dealing with a busy inbox, opening hard copy client files, photocopying and data entry.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

- Strong communication skills, both verbally and written
- To be a self-starter with proven initiative
- To be a team player
- To be experienced and efficient in a range of administration functions including typing and data entry
- To be keen to learn about the world of criminal defence law
