Finance Graduate

Join our journey to create a new experience for The National Lottery and help us to power change for the greater good.

Allwyn Finance Graduate Programme

The Allwyn Finance Graduate scheme is essential in ensuring we develop a pipeline of early talent for Allwyn. We offer opportunities across a number of finance areas, ensuring that you experience an exciting mix of day-to-day finance business activities whilst also gaining an invaluable accounting qualification to set you up for the future.

You'll gain a unique insight into the operations of the National Lottery with exposure to a variety of stakeholders and many business areas. You will gain lots of experience with us; we are a hard-working team but we also have lots of fun. At Allwyn, we commit to providing you with the support that you need, every step of the way. The support we offer includes:

• Regular touchpoints and mentoring,
• Paid leave to sit exams,
• Full reimbursement of your exam fees, course fees, and subscription fees,
• Job rotations to give you the required experience you need to gain your qualification.

The finance graduate programme is a three-year programme during which you will complete and gain an ACCA accounting qualification. You will complete 3 x 1-year role rotations within finance, all designed to give you the fullest experience and enable you to complete your required finance qualification experience record, so that you can become a fully qualified accountant. Each year you will also be required to sit (and pass first time) approximately four accounting exams. To give you the best possible chance of passing, Allwyn will support you by paying for you to attend lessons. You will need to pass the exams and complete your work experience record to become a fully qualified accountant.

We are looking for candidates that are motivated, ambitious with a strong drive to succeed, have a love of building relationships and collaborating, are excellent communicators, and thrive on finding solutions to business challenges. In return for your commitment, we offer you the opportunity to become a qualified accountant and to become a potential future leader in a truly exciting and well-renowned and trusted organisation.
