We are looking for trainees who have achieved a high academic standard. Preference will be given to those with a 2.1 degree, although a 2.2 will be considered if you are able to demonstrate additional skills or experience. You must show initiative, motivation and the ability to organise yourself, as well as be commercially aware. During your training programme within specialist departments, you will be expected to work as part of a team and have the personality and confidence to excel in whatever you do, both in and out of the workplace.

Trainees may be required to undertake seats in any of our Brighton & Hove, Uckfield and Hadlow offices and it is important that they have the flexibility and willingness to do so.

Solicitor Apprenticeship Scheme

Rix & Kay appoints its first Solicitor Apprentice

Rix & Kay is working with Damar Training and continues to promote the benefits of the L7 Solicitor Apprenticeship despite the government’s announcement in November 2024 that it is considering changes to Apprenticeship funding.

Rix & Kay remains hopeful that it will still be able to offer a fully funded Solicitor Apprenticeship Scheme and details will be published here following the government’s decision on funding that is expected to be published in Summer 2025.

Unfortunately, until then, Rix & Kay is not accepting applications for it’s Solicitor Apprenticeship Scheme. For all the latest announcements, follow us on LinkedIn.
