The role
Legal Administrative Support Assistant RCN Exeter/Birmingham Office, 35 hours per week, 13 month fixed term (maternity cover)

Salary per annum:
£24,525 - £26,859* At the Royal College of Nursing we're an optimistic organisation. And we've got good reason to be. We all share the same voice when it comes to changing the shape of the health policies of the future. And as the largest trade union of nursing staff and students in the UK - with over half a million members - all we can see are the infinite possibilities for a brighter future. Join us and you will too. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values. As a Legal Administrative Support Assistant to the Regulatory legal team you will use your positive attitude, organisational skills and your ability to deliver top quality customer service to provide administrative support to a busy team of Legal Officers representing RCN members in relation to regulatory and employment law matters. It's a job full of possibilities as you could get involved in anything from arranging meetings with members to liaising with barristers' chambers and preparing documents. We'll look to you to help plan diaries and organise and keep files up to date. It's a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential. As a Legal Administrative Support Assistant you will have hands on involvement in supporting our members and direct contact on a daily basis, utilising your customer service skills and passion for our services.

The person

To join us you'll need good organisation skills and, ideally, a background in a relevant area such as working in an administrative role, preferably within a legal team.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do. To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything's possible. What we offer you We expect you to look after our members. And we expect you to be rewarded for it.

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme.

We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale.

We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is excepted to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
