Which includes supporting our role in creating a more sustainable and inclusive society.

What you'll learn

As a Financial Services Professional apprentice, you'll join a pioneering front office apprenticeship programme and operate in an extremely dynamic, exciting area of our business, while gaining a qualification at the same time.

• Your apprenticeship will take around three years to complete, and cover key areas such as:

These grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications.

• You'll need to be at least 18 years old on 1st September 2025.

Whilst we welcome candidates who have a degree, this cannot be in a field related to the apprenticeship due to a crossover in learning. We'll request a copy of your degree module transcript to review if your degree may contain prior learning.

And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.
