Achieve is our vacation scheme, specifically designed for individuals from underrepresented groups within the UK workforce. This year's Achieve programme will run in our Bristol office w/c 30 March 2026.

Successful individuals are invited to attend a series of virtual skills masterclasses in the two weeks preceding the programme. These will provide insights into different areas of law, as well as developing their practical employability skills, prior to joining on day one.

They will then take part in a week's paid work experience, providing individuals with the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the firm, practical experience, and professional skills development. Successful candidates will typically gain hands-on experience being based in one team for a series of days with the support of an allocated supervisor and buddy.

Individuals will complete a training contract assessment w/c 13 April 2026. Further details of what this entails can be found on the Foot Anstey website.

Applications open on Wednesday 1 October 2025 and close on Friday 2 January 2026. If successful, candidates will be invited to complete their online assessment after this date and will need to do so by Monday 2 February 2026.
