Work Experience

Many of our current Directors trained at Ward Gethin Archer and we understand that work experience is a great way for those at the start of their career to get a better understanding of what their future career could entail. We are also keen to find potential future employees who we can look to assist in qualification and retain within the firm to potentially become a future Director themselves. We are not able to offer work experience outside of the placement dates detailed.
