Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme

The Solicitor Apprenticeship is a full-time role and open to anyone who has a minimum of 3 A-Levels (128 UCAS points) and at least five GCSE’s at grade C (or 4) or above including English and Mathematics (or equivalent).  Apprentices will complete study modules set by the Training Provider BPP and will utilise the skills they are learning in their day-to-day work.

Apprentices spend 20% of their contracted working hours on learning the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours.  This development time may include learning new relevant tasks in your role, embedding the knowledge you learn, spending development time with your Line Manager, attending online or face-to-face courses and writing assignments or directed self-study hours.

The first 6 months of the Apprenticeship will be a steep learning curve.  A successful Apprentice will need to understand how to conduct themselves in a professional environment whilst learning key skills such as time management and organisational skills.

At the start of the Apprenticeship, you are likely to work closely with Secretaries and Administration Assistants to learn the key processes of the department and the firm as a whole.  Once mastered, the Apprentice will then move onto working with Paralegals and Trainee Solicitors within the department and will conduct work such as research, drafting and general assistance that is required by the Fee Earners in the department.

As the Apprenticeship progresses into years 4-6 they will work more closely with our Fee Earners and varying different degrees of client work will be handed over to the Apprentice to complete.

The application process for 2023 is now open. Closing date: 30th June 2023.
