Discover first-hand what life is like working for the NHS Wales in-house legal team.
Take part in our work experience vacation scheme and you will come away with a clear picture of our culture and values, as well as a good understanding of the day-to-day work of our various teams here at Legal & Risk Services.
In addition to presentations and interactive workshops, you’ll have an opportunity to speak to current paralegals and trainees, as well as some of our more senior colleagues, grow your understanding of exactly what we do and where we’re heading, develop valuable skills that will help set you up for your future career in law, and get some practical tips on applying for future jobs with us.
Key Information
The Scheme takes part over a 2-week period towards the end of June and the beginning of July (specific dates to be confirmed on our website on 3 March 2026). Each day will be 10am – 4pm.
You can apply for either week, or both weeks, but would need to commit to the entire week in question and be present for the duration of each day.
