To provide high-level executive support to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Catch22, and work as part of the Catch22 Corporate Support Team.

In this role I was promoted to a PA, working for the Masterplanning and Urban Design Partner and his team of 14 after 6 months of starting with the company. He heads up the International arm of the business as well as the UK Masterplanning and Urban Design Team. Soon after, my skills were recognised and my responsibilities expanded to include working for the Architectural Design Team which is led by 2 directors and they have a team of 10. Both teams are expanding due to the high volume of work.

A high level of communicational skill was a priority in this role as a Junior Secretary to one of the Partners in the firm. My main duties included attending to clients to take full instructions in relation to their family matters such as their divorces cases and thereafter preparing the relevant documentation in readiness to send out to the client and the courts for filing. I also assisted the Conveyancing Solicitors with typing correspondences such as Leases and Agreements for residential and commercial property transactions which included meeting deadlines for completion of purchases, sales and assignments of properties as and when required. Other duties included general administration support such as filing, faxing, photocopying, opening new files on a computerised system, drafting Legal Aid forms and managing the diary.

Full reception duties were required for this position as well as good organisational skill as diary management was high on my list of duties to perform. Being the first point of contact for any person coming into or calling the office meant that a high level of customer service was required in order to deal with the demands of the cliental efficiently. I also provided secretarial support to the Partner dealing with primarily Conveyancing such as typing correspondences to clients, solicitors, lenders etc as well as typing Legal Documents such as Contracts, Agreements and Transfers. Other duties included sorting and distributing incoming and outgoing post, photocopying and sending out DX for the office and supervision of Junior Receptionist in all aspects of this role, filling, faxing, and opening new files, it therefore enhanced my planning and administrative skills.
