All Jobs
Applicants – please apply directly to us:
Please apply in person for our vacancies and not through a recruitment agency. Agencies add significantly to our overheads by charging a high percentage of a year’s salary for an introduction (often 20%) and this can reduce the salary we are able to offer a successful candidate. Even if you are listed with an agency, please apply to us direct, even if the agency says they have been in touch with us.
Trainee Solicitors
We currently have no trainee vacancies. Due to the number of speculative applications received, we are unable to respond to them. Our next trainee recruitment round will be advertised on our website, although is unlikely to be until mid-2024.
Sorry, there are no vacancies at this time.
Work experience and apprenticeships
Here at Wards Solicitors we are very keen to encourage the next generation of lawyers. We run ‘meet the lawyer’ sessions for up to six aspiring lawyers to have a face to face meeting with members of our team. These sessions are aimed at those studying in year 12 and above. Our lawyers will do a brief talk about what they do, and how they got to where they are now. You will have a tour of our offices, and have the chance to ask anything you like about working in the legal profession. Each session will run between 11am and 1 pm.
Sessions in our central Bristol office:
- Wednesday 6 November 2024
- Thursday 16 January 2025
To be considered for one of these sessions, please send your CV and an email setting out what you hope to get from the session to alison.bradley@wards.uk.com. Please specify which event you would like to be invited to.
Sessions in our Weston super Mare office:
- Thursday 7 November 2024
To be considered for this session, please send your CV and an email setting out what you hope to get from the session to amy.jones@wards.uk.com.
