Job Description

At Lloyds Banking Group, we are passionate about delivering high-quality apprenticeship experiences to support everyone to realise their full potential.

This is an opportunity to learn skills, gain a qualification and earn a salary, all while playing an important role in shaping finance as a force for good.

Curious to learn what makes the economy tick? Ready to develop your technical skills and product knowledge? This is your moment.

You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of financial markets and transaction solutions, to be well equipped to succeed in banking. You’ll be valued for your perspective and have real responsibility. And you’ll enjoy unlimited opportunities to be innovative, think critically and add real value to our business, including 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:

• Client and customer relationships

• Delivering services

• Financial services legal and regulatory framework

• Strategy and planning

• Problem solving and decision making.

As part of your apprenticeship, you will complete the Chartered Banker Institute (CBI) Associate Chartered Banker Diploma and Professional Banking Certificate.

What you’ll need

• GCSE (or equivalent) at grade 4-9 in both Maths and English (Language and / or Literature)

• PLUS - 3 A levels (or equivalent) at grade A*-C.

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.

Important information

Due to Home Office requirements regarding Skilled Workers, we’re unable to accept applications for visa sponsorship for our apprenticeship roles as the proposed salary for the role does not meet the minimum threshold – if this situation applies to you, please consider looking for other vacancies which may be more suitable.

Salary

You will join us on a fixed apprenticeship salary where you’ll be eligible for annual pay reviews. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, your salary will be increased in line with the grade and pay range for your role.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

• An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance

• Share schemes including free shares

• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

• 22 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
