Our online application form can be accessed via our website and asks for your details, qualifications and work experience as well as asking you three competency based questions. The questions are designed so that you tell us about yourselves and your experiences and allow you to tell us your own story.
All applications are carefully assessed and if successful you will be invited to undertake a verbal analysis test online and we select further by inviting you to do a video interview. The successful final applicants will then be invited to a one week vacation scheme in June/July. We do ask that you ensure you are available on the dates detailed in the application form as we are unable to progress your application past this point if you cannot join a vacation scheme week.
Should you be successful at obtaining a place on our vacation scheme, you will be assessed throughout as to your suitability to be offered a training contract. There will be a variety of assessments throughout the week, as well as a formal interview with two partners. The variety of assessments enable us to evaluate different skills as we understand everyone has their strengths and want to ensure you are able to shine in multiple ways
During your time at the vacation scheme, you will also have the opportunity work in one of our departments where you will undergo simulated tasks and be involved in client matters (where appropriate). In addition to the department experience, we also schedule time with partners and associates who will share their personal experience and journey in the field of law, as well as some social time with our current trainees.
Although very thorough, we believe our vacation scheme weeks give you an opportunity to understand what it means to work at Fox Williams and we genuinely believe that it's equally as important for you to choose us, as we choose you.
If you are successful at the vacation scheme week, we will make our offers as soon as possible after the scheme ends.
