About the scheme

Completed your school studies or thinking about a career change? You may believe that a career in law is unattainable without going to university. Our Paralegal Apprenticeship is here to change that! This scheme will equip you with the essential skills needed to start your rewarding career in one of the most fulfilling sectors within the largest food and drink company in the world. The best part is, you’ll gain valuable experience without any student debt.

 

What can you expect?

For two years, you will be part of the dedicated Legal team that ensures compliance in various areas including, advertising, competition and employment law. Your responsibilities may include reviewing advertising material, addressing brand name queries and creating training materials, such as howto guides on subjects like data protection and marketing – all of which foster a compliance culture at Nestlé. Throughout the programme, you’ll be guided by an Academy Champion (a qualified lawyer) as well as the supportive legal team, allowing you to build strong professional connections and grow in confidence.

Over four exciting years, you’ll execute digital marketing plans and collaborate with both internal and external teams to manage campaigns and learn from industry experts. We’re looking for natural problem solvers and team players who are enthusiastic and driven to succeed.

 

What will you get out of it?

The programme will shape you into a confident legal professional, equipped to support compliance at a global company like Nestlé.

On successful completion of your apprenticeship, you will achieve the L3 Paralegal Apprenticeship and you’ll also gain a Level 3 CILEX paralegal qualification, boosting your expertise and opening up many opportunities.

Career progression

“After starting at Nestlé as a Personal Assistant, I transitioned to a Marketing Paralegal role, gaining insights into advertising law through hands-on experience with an external law firm. Now, I ensure that all consumer advertising complies with legal standards and internal policies. I also lead process improvements for expert approvers, align teams on active matters, and enhance compliance within the Marketing team. The role is fast-paced and varied, making it both challenging and rewarding!”
