Apprenticeships
Study and gain hands-on experience at the same time to kick-start your career
Applications for these programmes are now closed and will reopen in Autumn 2025.
An apprenticeship is a great way to gain hands-on experience whilst you earn and learn
Apprentices
As an apprentice, you can expect £19,600 to £24,100 per annum, depending on the business area you join.*
Settling in allowance
As an apprentice, you will receive a one-off £3k joining allowance in your first month.
Wellbeing allowance
You can claim up to £1,500 each year for products and services that contribute to physical, mental, financial and social wellbeing.
Flexible benefits
In addition to your base salary, you’ll receive a flexible allowance (currently 20% of base salary) that you can take as cash, or use to change levels of cover or buy a range of extra benefits, such as a pension, private medical insurance, critical illness, dental care, personal accident and travel insurance, and our cycle to work scheme.
Private medical insurance
We’ll pay for private healthcare, and you only pay an income tax charge.

Clubs and societies
From football and volleyball to yoga and mindfulness sessions, you’ll find plenty of ways to mix with colleagues outside work.
