Linklaters is a global law firm, providing legal services in 20 countries and through 30 offices.

Linklaters is a people business. Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional.

We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction.

Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere.

We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal.

The role:

We're looking for an experienced coordinator to join our Early Careers team on a 6-month fixed-term contract. This is a busy, varied role at the heart of our trainee recruitment and development programmes, and we need someone who can hit the ground running from day one.

You’ll play a key role in delivering a first-class candidate and trainee experience, supporting everything from assessment centres and vacation schemes through to trainee development activities and future trainee engagement.

Key responsibilities include:

• Coordinating assessment centres, interviews, candidate travel and recruitment events
• Managing high-volume inboxes and responding to candidate and trainee queries
• Supporting major trainee development processes, including inductions, seat moves, qualifications and secondments
• Helping to deliver our vacation schemes, insight programmes and open days
• Maintaining accurate records, processing invoices and managing reporting and spreadsheets
• Producing offer documentation and onboarding support for future trainees
• Supporting Early Careers marketing initiatives and social media activity

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering a seamless experience for candidates, trainees and stakeholders alike.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for a highly organised coordinator who is comfortable juggling multiple priorities and building relationships across the business.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience in a busy coordination or administrative role, ideally within HR, recruitment or professional services
• The confidence to work with senior stakeholders and manage competing demands
• Outstanding organisational skills and exceptional attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to work independently
• Excellent time management and the ability to stay calm under pressure
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to get stuck in wherever needed

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who can quickly get up to speed, take ownership of your workload and make an immediate impact within a high-performing team.

If you're looking for a hands-on role where no two days are the same and you can contribute from day one, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on offer:

This role will be based in our London office, with a hybrid working model.

Joining Team Linklaters will see you qualify for a range of benefits designed to reward the vital contribution you'll be making to our success. These include:

• Private Medical Insurance
• Free in-house fitness centre and subsidised health club memberships
• Free onsite GP service and periodic health assessments

Finance

• Pension and flexible savings options
• Income protection and life assurance
• Mortgage advice and will-writing services.

Family & Lifestyle

• Electric car and cycle to work schemes.
• Emergency family care
• Additional holiday/birthday leave.
• Maternity/paternity/shared parental leave.
• Travel insurance and season ticket loan
• Option to join sports and social clubs, as well as our employee networks groups (such as our Gender Equality, With Pride, or Social Mobility Networks)
