Glasgow Traineeship

We currently have opportunities available for a September 2026 and September 2027 start.

This vacancy is only applicable to those looking to practise Scottish law in our Glasgow office.

Our 24-month training programme will provide you with excellent training and experience across four six-month seats in different areas of the business, which will include the PEAT2 outcomes which are required for your qualification to solicitor.

We are recruiting for September 2026 and 2027.

Prior to starting your training contract, all successful candidates are required to complete the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice course.

Reasons to use Rodeo

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

To be eligible to commence your trainee role in 2026, you must be currently completing, or have already completed, the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice

Alternatively, if you are offered a trainee role with a 2027 start date and have not yet enrolled onto the course, we will fund the cost of your postgraduate tuition at the university of your choice.
