Why Work for Thornton Jones Solicitors
We are a thriving and fast-growing firm based entirely in Yorkshire and we are proud to all be Yorkshire born and bred! Thornton Jones Solicitors has enjoyed significant growth over the last few years, increasing our team from 24 members pre pandemic to over 50 today!
Growth doesn’t stop at the recruiting of new team members though. With the opening of our Sherburn in Elmet branch in April 2021, and our Mapplewell branch in April 2023, we are a firm with a high-street presence in Wakefield, Ossett, Garforth, Sherburn in Elmet, and Mapplewell.
We are most definitely a ‘high street firm’ and we never want to change from being so, and we have big ambitions to spread our Thornton Jones ethos throughout Yorkshire. At the heart of everything we do are our people. We believe that every member of staff plays a vital role in the firm and it’s success and that if our team members feel fulfilled and supported then they will look after our clients in the same way.
This is not simply ‘fluff’, it forms the basis of everything we do. We prioritise staff wellbeing and training, and our meeting core values of A Passion for Excellence, Professional Integrity, Trust and Respect, Supporting and Valuing Everyone, Standing Out From The Crowd, and Community and Sustainability are achieved primarily thanks to all our team being actively involved in decision making.
How we prioritise Wellbeing
We have a strong wellbeing focus with initiatives such as random acts of kindness, motivational mornings, and celebrations of ‘national days’. An example of this, is for the ‘National day of Happiness’, every member of staff was given an hour during work time to do what makes them happy. For some people it was an extra hour in bed, for others it was going out with a colleague for a coffee and a catch up, and for others it was an hour walking with their pets. Small things, but they all help to build the fantastic culture we have at Thornton Jones.
Training and Development
We have a proven track record of supporting our team to develop within their role (through mentoring, on-the-job training, and more formal education) as well as supporting our team to further their career so that they can move up the career ladder. We are passionate about helping and supporting our team further their career and are proud to have been (and continue to be) a fundamental part of some of our lawyer’s journey.
Our commitment to our Community
As a small high street firm we believe firmly in being part of our local communities. It is how we build connections with the places where we do business. An important part of this is through our charity work. Our Charity Committee is run by some of our staff and each year everyone votes for who they would like to make our charity of the year. in 2021 it was The Richmond Fellowship, and in 2022 it is The Children’s Ward at Pinderfields Hospital (Wakefield). We hold events throughout the year to raise much needed funds for the charities and have climbed the Yorkshire Three Peaks and hiked a 20 mile route between all four of our offices.
We are also a dedicated clothing drop off point for the Clothing Bank in Knottingley whose aim is “to stop clothing poverty in our communities”. People drop off their unwanted clothes, and then once a week we deliver them to the clothing bank for them to pass onto those who are struggling to afford everyday clothing. Another really worthy cause.
Our Environmental Mission
We are passionate about reducing our carbon footprint. Our Eco Group who meet monthly has come up with so many great ideas and lots have already implemented. One being our reusable and fully recyclable business cards, which are made from 100% recycled card, printed with vegetable ink, and which open up into a bookmark. We have a strong focus on recycling and limiting our energy consumption and with flexible working, we are able to limit the fuel used by our team when travelling into the office. We have bigger plans to come too including installing charging points for electric cars and possibly solar power, so watch this space!
A Group of Everyone
Whatever your interest, we’re sure we have a group just for you. We have gardening club whose focus is on ensuring our our door space is tidy and looking good with flowers and shrubs, and we have a menopause group which aims to allow the entire firm to fully appreciate what the menopause is and how it might affect an individual. These plus more, all make our staff feel that little bit better about their work.
