Paralegal Apprenticeship

Launch your legal career with our Health Advisory and Litigation Department

We're looking for motivated individuals to join our specialist Health Law teams and build a rewarding career whilst gaining a recognised legal qualification.

The Opportunity:

You'll undertake your apprenticeship in either our clinical negligence team or our advisory and inquest team, working on real cases from day one. Our teams specialise in supporting healthcare organisations and professionals when things go wrong in medicine or there are differences in opinion about the care patients should receive, which need to be resolved by the court.  We are truly at the forefront of society’s biggest issues and are dealing with some of the most important claims and other court cases relating to healthcare, which often feature in the media.

What You’ll Learn:

As a Paralegal Apprentice, you’ll gain hand-on experience in:

Reviewing case files Drafting legal documents and correspondence Case management Communicating with internal and external clients

 

You’ll work alongside our team of experts, receiving structured training and support throughout your apprenticeship. Our apprentices also have opportunities to work for our clients on secondment from time to time.

Training:

You'll work four days a week and spend one day per week studying.  Study is online, working towards a Level 3 Paralegal apprenticeship standard.   

Training Outcome:

Once you’ve successfully completed the Paralegal Apprenticeship, not only will you be eligible to apply for paralegal positions, but you'll also have the opportunity to advance your career further by applying for our Solicitor Apprenticeship. What's more, having completed the Paralegal Apprenticeship, the time required to complete the Solicitor Apprenticeship will be reduced, fast-tracking your journey towards becoming a solicitor.
