The posting

The Company

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?

The Role

As an Office Assistant at Octopus Legacy, you'll keep our Bristol office running - and make sure every piece of post that comes through our door gets to the right place, fast.

You'll open, scan and log all our incoming post against the right case, so our probate team can act on it straight away. Much of it relates to someone who has recently died, so

accuracy and discretion matter. A missed letter can hold up an estate for a grieving family.

Alongside the post, you'll look after the office day to day: deliveries, supplies, visitors, and keeping everything organised and working.

You don't need a legal background. If you're organised, reliable and take pride in getting the details right, we'll teach you the rest.

Our values are simple: Hard work. Customer-first. Optimism.

Key Responsibilities

  • Open, sort, scan and log all incoming post daily, saving each item to the correct case.
  • Flag urgent or time-sensitive items, like court documents, HMRC letters and cheques,
  • to the right person straight away.
  • Handle original documents with care, including wills, death certificates and grants of Probate.
  • Prepare and send outgoing post, including recorded and special delivery, and arrange couriers.
  • Keep our physical records and original documents catalogued, filed and easy to find.
  • Run the office day to day: deliveries, visitors, supplies, and liaising with the building
  • and suppliers.
  • Keep client information confidential at all times and follow our data protection
  • procedures.

Who Are You?

  • Highly organised and detail-focused - nothing slips through the cracks with you.
  • Reliable and consistent, comfortable owning a daily routine.
  • Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information.
  • Confident with everyday tech and quick to pick up new systems.
  • Proactive, spotting what needs doing before you're asked.
  • Calm, kind and professional, especially when the subject matter is difficult.
  • Office or post room experience is a bonus, not a requirement - we'll train you on therest.

Why You'll Love It Here

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.

Our Mission

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
