Cambridge Legal Apprenticeship 2025 - Healthcare

Applications for our Legal Apprenticeship are now open, for a September 2025 start.

Our two year paralegal apprenticeship is aimed at those that have completed A Levels or equivalent studies. The apprenticeship offers an introduction to the fundamentals of legal practice and provides a combination of learning and working within one of our legal teams, to build your knowledge and the skills required to work as a Litigation Assistant at Kennedys.

You will be able to earn a salary and gain a qualification at the same time with the opportunity to study toward a Level 4 Certificate of Higher Education in Legal Services, which is equivalent to the first year of a law undergraduate degree.

In addition to a dedicated supervisor at Kennedys, you will have a personal tutor and student manager at BPP Law School, to ensure that you have all the support you need at work and with your studies.
