Vacation Scheme
We offer a 2 week vacation scheme which takes place in the summer.
You will be based in our Bournemouth office, and be assigned to one of our legal teams, and will shadow the lawyers in that team.
You will experience the culture of the firm, and you will have the opportunity to hear from qualified lawyers, and trainees about their journeys to qualification, tips on CV writing and interview skills, and have the opportunity to socialise and make new contacts. It will also look great on your CV, and there may well be some opportunities for some paid paralegal work after the placement has finished.
The 2 week summer vacation scheme is unpaid.
We are happy to receive CVs from law and non-law students, who are usually completed their first or second year of study.
How to apply:
We are proud of our values and culture. If you think that you would fit into our culture, please give us at least one example of how in a covering letter attaching your CV. Please send your CV/Covering letter to recruitment@ellisjones.co.uk.

‘’I did not have any expectations when I walked through the door the first day. The main area I wanted to achieve was to gain a more in depth understanding of the way a regulated firm differs from a CIC. I successfully achieved it and really enjoyed not only the work, but the people who work together to create a friendly and approachable atmosphere.’’
