Are you recruiting trainees or apprentices?

If so please, please put your vacancies on our recruitment hub! Why? 

We believe in building a sustainable future - that means training the lawyers of the future to meet your expanding needs, to fill your vacancies, and to provide succession planning for retirement. It’s about refreshing our pool of lawyers every year with fresh, diverse faces. It’s about bringing in the next generation. 

So many if you complain that it is so hard to recruit. For those of you who never have trainees, who always look to recruit experienced staff from other authorities, ask yourselves who is topping up that pool? The truth is, if we don’t train as a collective, that pool will run dry, 

So, our recruitment hub is designed to make it easy for you to dip your toe into trainee recruitment. It’s free, you will gain visibility for your appointment and attract a wide range of students, and, importantly, we will start to build a picture of the size of the local government sector as a recruiter. 

In order for local authorities to be attractive to students, we need to display multiple opportunities to showcase the size and spread of the sector. Law in local government is a career choice, not just a step in the right direction.

We know it works. We have built an audience of students through our annual work experience with an appetite for local government law. If you display your vacancy, they will step up and apply. 

The adverts we have posted to date have attracted high quality applicants.

And it’s free, so you have absolutely nothing to lose.
