Receptionist & Admin Assistant Full Time

TC Young are looking to recruit a friendly and professional Receptionist & Admin Assistant for our Edinburgh Office. This is a full-time vacancy (35 hrs per week – 9am-5pm) and will be office based.

The workload is varied and will involve a mix of general administration and reception duties.

We are seeking a highly organised individual, who enjoys meeting new people, thrives on being busy and supporting an office to run smoothly. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Key responsibilities…

• managing reception, greeting clients and visitors
• answering and directing incoming calls
• coordinating meeting rooms
• handling incoming and outgoing mail
• providing general administrative support
• assisting with new client enquiries and office systems

We are looking for…

• previous reception/admin experience preferred (Office 365 experience would be useful but not essential as full training will be provided)
• ability to work under pressure and prioritise work to meet internal deadlines
• a reliable individual with a strong work ethic and ‘can do’ attitude towards a variety of admin tasks
• good verbal communication skills
• someone comfortable working in a team but with the confidence to work on own initiative
• excellent IT skills – all Microsoft packages
• a highly presentable professional comfortable working in a professional services firm
• someone who embraces change positively

Previous legal experience is advantageous but our priority is to find a receptionist / administrator with excellent attention to detail who would enjoy working in a fast-paced environment. Full training will be provided.

Though this role is a full-time position, we remain open to discussion around part time hours/job share.

What you can expect … In return, we offer a friendly working environment, competitive salary, structured training and supported progression opportunities, minimum of 33 days holiday (with option to purchase additional leave), and a generous pension scheme. We would also consider applications from individuals interested in a job share.

Our firm has held Investors in People accreditation since 1997 and recently gained Gold accreditation. At TC Young we are proud to be a friendly firm that genuinely cares about our staff. Many of our solicitors and support staff have been with us for 30 years, reflecting the positive, inclusive culture we have worked hard to create. The partners feel strongly that when people enjoy their work and feel supported, they thrive — and so does the firm. Ongoing professional development is actively encouraged, with meaningful investment in training and long-term career growth.
