Exceptional experience. Serious opportunity.

For our vacation schemes, applications open from Monday 9 September 2024 and close at midday on Friday 3 January 2025. For our training contract, applications open from Monday 2 December 2024 and close at midday on Friday 21 March 2025. Try not to leave your application until the last minute. Take your time to create the best possible application you can.

Our vacation scheme is a great way to experience Foot Anstey and find out more about the work you could be doing here. At the end of each vacation scheme, you’ll have the opportunity to complete an assessment for a training contract. If you already have plenty of work experience and would prefer to apply directly for a training contract, feel free to do so.

Yes! We help you with the cost of travel and accommodation and you will receive a competitive salary for your week’s hard work.

There are three parts to our process – the online application, online assessment and then the vacation scheme with assessment day on the final day of the programme. Further information on this can be found on our dedicated recruitment process page.

Yes. We take mitigating circumstances into consideration when reviewing applications. There is space on the application form for you to let us know what your mitigating circumstances relate to.

Yes. As a firm we recruit contextually taking into account factors such as the school or college a candidate has attended and the average grades achieved in that year. Every application is personally reviewed by a member of the team; in the spirit of being refreshingly human your academics would not be the sole factor in our decision.

Internal applicants are encouraged to apply for our Aspire programme or the direct training contract.

Due to the one-week duration of the programme, we require successful individuals to have eligibility to work during their vacation scheme. We are able to support work permits for those offered training contracts.

Please enter your qualifications (including the scores that you have) as normal. You do not need to convert your grades to the UK equivalent, we will do this for you.

Our vacation schemes are targeted at those in their second year of undergraduate study and above. However, we have a host of resources available to you, should you wish to find out more about the law and Foot Anstey. You may wish to start by following our social media accounts and listening our The Trainee Lowdown podcast series.
