As an apprentice, you can expect to spend 20% of your working time studying and the rest in post. Applicants should be aware of the rigour of the qualifications and be prepared to also study in their own time.
  Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in different areas of law, developing different aspects to their legal practice by rotating seat placements during their apprenticeship.
  Your office location is contractual so if you are successful, there is an expectation that you will attend that office location 60% of contracted hours as required by the business. You need to consider how you will meet this requirement before you apply and discuss any concerns with the vacancy holder before accepting any role.

Provisional grades will be accepted at the initial application stage. As the recruitment process progresses, candidates will be required to provide their final results to confirm their eligibility. If your final results do not meet the essential criteria on which your application was based, your application will be rejected at that stage.
Important Information:
If you do not hold qualifications in law or equivalent, please refer to the Solicitor Apprentice vacancy also currently on Civil Service Jobs - Reference .
We will accept part-time working (minimum 30 hours per week), and we would discuss the impact of this with successful candidates on the requirement to obtain 2 years qualifying work experience. We will confirm that you are happy you can work 30 hours minimum as part of the application.
Successful candidates will receive appointment letters that hold a training clause advising completion of the apprenticeship is a condition of employment.
Successful completion of the apprenticeship will see you awarded with the SQE qualification and qualifying work experience to become eligible to be a qualified solicitor.

This is because applicants need to demonstrate that, based on their current experience and qualification level, an apprenticeship will provide them with significant new learning, skills and behaviours.
