Legal apprenticeship vacancies The Chambers Student law careers guide has just compiled a brand-new listing of legal apprenticeships for school-leavers. We've also interviewed apprentices and recruiters to publish an insight feature on being a legal apprentice. You can find a link to both these features below, plus other content from Chambers Student which is useful to you as a careers advisor and to any sixthform students considering a career in law. Legal apprenticeships For school-leavers who fancy learning on the job and getting paid to do it, a law apprenticeship might be the ideal route into law – and you won't even need to impress Lord Sugar.
More from Chambers Student‌ What kind of lawyer do you want to be? Let's start with one of the most basic questions – what do lawyers do? Is law right for you? And do you want to be a barrister or a solicitor? How do you become a solicitor? Solicitors provide legal services directly to clients who may be individuals, companies or other bodies. There are over 5000 vacancies for graduate jobs as a solicitor. How do you become a barrister?
Do you enjoy debating and public speaking? Are you a good debater? Are you well-organised and a good independent worker? Then a career as a barrister could be for you.
Legal Apprenticeship Our apprenticeship programme is designed to help you to develop your professional & personal skills
Experience An apprenticeship will give you practical insight into a career in the legal sector and help you to develop transferable skills that will be valued in any profession. Work experience is a huge asset to your CV whatever route you decide to take in the future showing curiosity, commitment and initiative and strengthening self-awareness and commercial acumen alongside. Salary You will be earning money from day one. At £15,500 pa, our starting salary is very competitive and above the national living wage. In addition to this, you will benefit from our extensive benefits and rewards scheme, including a firm wide bonus, travel season ticket loans and discounted gym membership. Qualification The programme is based on the new Trailblazer Level 3 Paralegal Apprenticeship. In addition, our training provider, BPP, will provide you with further learning and assessment that will enable you to be awarded a Certificate of Higher Education - Legal Services. This additional feature is set at Level 4 which is the equivalent of the first year of a university degree. If you are awarded the Certificate of Higher Education, you will be able to proceed straight into the second year of the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship. Benefits Whether you have always known that you want to work in the legal profession or you simply want to get experience of working in a professional services environment, the completion of an apprenticeship will open many doors. At the end of the two years you could:
Complete a higher level apprenticeship that would enable you to qualify as a solicitor. It will be possible to complete the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship within a shorter period of time having completed our Paralegal Apprenticeship (five years instead of six). This means you could qualify as a solicitor at the same time as someone who decided to go to university, with the added benefit of six years of work experience. Go to university. Completing our apprenticeship doesn't mean closing the door to further study. Starting on a two year apprenticeship means you have the opportunity to find out if learning in the workplace is right for you. If you decide that you want to experience university you can still go at the end of the two years, but with the added benefit of valuable work experience and transferable skills. Continue working within the firm as a paralegal or move into another role.
