Office Executive
We're VWV – a friendly, down-to-earth law firm with a brilliant team in the heart of London. We're now looking for a new Office Executive to join us on a full time basis. This is a key role for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in being helpful, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and get involved wherever needed.
Our London office is home to around 90 people, and you'll quickly become the person everyone relies on to keep things running smoothly. It's a great role – and a genuinely lovely team to be part of.
About The Role
No two days are the same – one moment you'll be coordinating internal meetings, lunches and other activities , the next you might be troubleshooting office problems, preparing documents for fee earners, helping to organise an event or ensuring files are maintained in compliance with various regulations.
You'll work closely with Katie Hickman, our Office Partner, and interact with a wide range of people across the firm – from trainees to partners to business services teams, as well as external contacts. It's a highly visible and valued role with real scope to make a difference.
This isn't your average admin job. It's central to how our office runs – supporting lawyers, liaising with clients, managing logistics, solving problems on the fly, and making sure everything behind the scenes just works. You'll be the one keeping the plates spinning – with professionalism, positivity, and a big smile.
In return, you'll get the chance to be part of a genuinely supportive and sociable team where your work is noticed and appreciated. You'll build strong relationships across the firm, gain exposure to a wide variety of work, and play a key part in keeping one of our busiest offices on track.
About You
What really matters to us is your attitude. We're looking for someone who's friendly, dependable, highly organised and takes real pride in doing a good job.
You're someone who spots what needs doing and just gets on with it. You'll bring positive energy to the office and always be happy to lend a hand, whether it's a big task or something small and unseen. You'll be comfortable managing your time, juggling different requests, and staying focused on the details – especially when things get busy.
Previous office/admin experience is great but for this role initiative is key! If that sounds like you, and you're ready to play a crucial part in a great team, we'd love to hear from you.

Where Will I Be Working?
Whilst as a firm we do offer a hybrid working model, there are some roles that require office attendance five days a week due to business need and this role is one of them. It's very much a front-facing, office-based role — you'll be a key presence in the London office, and your visibility really matters. That said, we understand life happens, so of course we can be flexible on the odd occasion when working from home is needed.
Why Choose Us?
There are so many reasons to stop and explore us further. We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration is key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can be yourself. We invite you to watch this short video on the right hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.
Here at VWV, we can offer an exciting array of benefits and are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We're striving to create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can reach their full potential. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
How To Apply?
Please submit your CV along with a cover letter telling us how you would establish yourself as the person everyone relies on in our London office. We're especially interested in how you use your initiative and what being a trusted presence in a busy, professional environment means to you.
