JOB DESCRIPTION

Legal Summer Vacation Scheme
You’ll rotate across two different practice groups, carry out research, draft legal documents and attend client meetings.

Programme

During this three-day paid programme you’ll get an insight into what a career at PwC could look like, you’ll meet mentors and buddies who’ll represent the variety of opportunities available across PwC. You’ll meet some of our colleagues to hear about their own personal career journeys, as well as from some of our networks focussed on Inclusion and Diversity. Through interactive sessions the programme will help you to develop confidence in a business setting and encourage you to bring your whole self to the workplace. At PwC, we nurture an environment where our people can be the best they can be.

Our Advancing Social Mobility programme will be a 3-day paid programme taking place 14-16 April 2025. You will need to be in the UK to complete this programme.

What you'll do

To secure a training contract with us, you must complete our two-week Legal Summer Vacation Scheme, held in the summer. This will help you determine if a career with us is the right fit. Perform well, and you'll be offered a training contract, with a flexible start date where possible. Note that the Vacation Scheme takes place in our London office, but training contracts may be for either our Manchester or London office.

Starting your career with us will be exciting, challenging, and rewarding. We seek individuals who are committed, flexible, passionate, and ready to invest effort. In return, we offer full support and investment in your future.

If you're pursuing a professional qualification, you'll have study time off. After completing the training contract, we'll continue to support your career development. Our opportunities allow you to grow, meet new people, and build lasting relationships. We need resilient, hardworking individuals who learn quickly and are passionate about going the extra mile for our clients.

What you'll gain

By completing the programme, you'll have the opportunity to be considered for a subsequent 2026 Vacation Scheme role in the location and business area which you've done the programme.

Many of our Vacation Scheme participants go on to receive trainee graduate offers.

You will be required to complete further studies prior to joining as a trainee such as the PGDL and/or SQE,but this may be subject to change in future years.
