Secretary & Administration Support Apprentice

Kickstart a career in legal business support with Lovedays Solicitors. This apprenticeship places you in a busy legal office where you'll handle reception duties, client bookings, legal correspondence, document creation and general administrative tasks.

You'll work hands-on with fee earners and support teams, updating databases and managing records related to deeds and wills.

You will be employed full-time (Monday-Friday, 09:00-17:00, 35 hours per week) and study towards the Business Administrator Level 3 qualification with Chesterfield College. The apprenticeship starts on 29 November 2025 and pays £13,741 in the first year, with pay subject to change depending on age and apprenticeship wage rules.

Specialist training time away from the workplace is included as part of the programme.

Successful completion can lead to permanent employment with the firm. The role requires GCSEs in English and maths (grade C / 4 or equivalent) and good communication, IT and organisational skills. You will occasionally be expected to work at the firm's Buxton, Bakewell and Wirksworth sites, so the ability to travel (and drive) is advantageous.
