We're Octopus Legacy: one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country, part of the UK's most exciting and best-trusted group (you may have heard of some of our sister companies…) and we have a mission.
We're on a path to scale, aiming to become a household name while transforming a long-established industry and helping our customers prepare for, and find support after, death.
But we can't do it alone, and that's why we're assembling a team of top performers to build with us.
Ready to be part of something big?
As a Probate Legal Assistant at Octopus Legacy, you'll sit at the heart of our probate team - supporting families through the practical, legal steps that follow a death, and making sure every case runs smoothly from the very first conversation.
You'll work side by side with our Probate Case Managers, learning the ins and outs of probate applications and estate administration as you go. You'll be speaking to customers who are bereaved, so warmth, clarity and care matter as much as the admin itself.
You don't need a legal background. If you're organised, empathetic, and genuinely good with people, we'll teach you everything you need to know about probate.
We want to be honest - it won't always be easy. You'll be speaking to people at one of the hardest moments of their lives. It takes patience, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm and kind when things get emotional or busy.
But if you find purpose in helping people when it matters most - and you like the idea of building your career in a fast-growing, supportive team - this role can be genuinely rewarding.
As part of our growing probate team, you'll join at a pivotal time, helping us shape the way we work and deliver the best possible experience for our customers.
Our values are simple: Customer-First. Work hard. Stay optimistic.
We're part of a group that believes work should mean something. You'll be trusted to do what's right, supported to grow, and encouraged to share your ideas and shape the way we work.
You'll be part of a team you can truly count on - colleagues who support each other and always put customers first, every day and at every step of your journey.
A fast-growing business with room to learn, grow and influence change, plus real opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career.
Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we're a group of people who work in death because we've been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it's like when there isn't one.
Death can come between us, leaving mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We're here to make that world happen.
We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
