Office Assistant

With six offices across New Zealand, Duncan Cotterill is one of New Zealand’s largest law firms.

We’re looking for a confident, reliable and personable Office Assistant to be the face of our Auckland office. As the sole person managing reception, you’ll own the arrival experience and be the first point of contact for clients, visitors and colleagues.
This is an important and visible role. You’ll create a warm, professional first impression, keep reception running smoothly and help set the tone for everyone who walks through our doors. Alongside managing reception independently, you’ll support our busy legal teams with a varied mix of office administration.

Your day will include welcoming clients and visitors, answering phone calls, preparing spaces for meetings, assisting with internal and external events, managing deeds and files, and pitching in with other office and administration tasks as they arise.
  
To thrive in this role, you’ll ideally bring:   

• experience in a client-facing or customer service role, and confidence engaging with a wide range of people.
• excellent organisation, punctuality and time management skills.
• a genuine commitment to delivering a high standard of service.
• a polished, friendly and professional approach.
• initiative, sound judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• an interest in supporting a busy office and growing your administration skills.

You’ll be someone who enjoys taking ownership, notices the small details and is always ready to help. You’ll be comfortable working independently at reception while also being an active and valued member of the wider office team.
  
Based in our modern Britomart office, you’ll work alongside high-performing legal professionals and passionate corporate support teams in a friendly, professional environment.

If you’re ready to bring your customer service skills into a role with variety, visibility and room to grow, we’d love to hear from you!
