Our Career Kick Start work experience programme provides Year 12 students from disadvantaged backgrounds with an insight into a career in law.

The programme is structured as follows:

• Week One: Monday 27 July – Friday 31 July 2026. You’ll work at BCLP’s offices, gaining a valuable insight into our daily work, and taking part in skills development sessions to prepare you for a career in law.
• Week Two: Monday 3 August – Friday 7 August 2026 – You’ll visit a different organisation every day, learning how law firms interact with their clients across various sectors. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to build your network and expand your knowledge..

We want to get to know the real you, not AI!

We understand that it can be tempting to use AI for answers to the questions on our application forms, but we value genuine, well-thought-out responses that reflect your skills and motivation. We want to hear how you think and communicate naturally, so take a moment to process the question and respond in your own words. We don’t mind if you use AI to polish or help with the structure of your answers, but please refrain from using it extensively.
