Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships offer the chance to earn while you learn and gain practical experience. They're also a great option if you're looking for a career change. No matter what qualifications you already have, we can work with you to find the right programme of work-based study, from Level 2 to Level 6 qualifications. If you are interested in one of our vacancies and would like to explore the opportunity of completing an apprenticeship alongside your new role, you can discuss what options are available with our Talent Acquisition Team as part of the recruitment process.
Student placements
We offer 12-month industrial placements for undergraduate students. You’ll join us in a role suited to your degree, where you’ll gain real working experience in your chosen area. Alongside working on your degree subject, you’ll have the opportunity to work on live projects and contribute your thoughts and ideas to our growing business.
Graduate programme
If you are looking to take the first step in your career after graduating, we have roles across the organisation that are perfect for graduates and you will be provided with opportunities to learn, develop, and progress in your career.
What do our colleagues have to say?
"Over the course of two years as a HR Management graduate, I have had the invaluable opportunity to complete four rotations across different HR teams. This experience has given me exposure to the wide scope of the HR world and has helped me build up my confidence and knowledge in this field. One of the standout aspects of the programme has been the level of support available to me from my line managers and mentors, the other Early Talent colleagues, and the wider HR team. Having multiple channels of support has made a real difference in my development, helping me grow both personally and professionally at this early stage in my career."
Amy, HR Management graduate
"Since joining the society 15 months ago I have been surrounded with development opportunities. From the start I was familiarised with other students and apprentices starting which was great as it really helped me settle in quickly. The people supporting me have been a key factor for my progress, encouraging me to apply for awards and go above and beyond in my apprenticeship qualifications. The apprenticeship programme I studied was a great way for me to gain entry to a career in IT. The programme really helped by further enhancing my understanding of fundamentals allowing me to develop the more bespoke and technical skills required in my role."
Charlie, IT Services apprentice
"The Early Talent programme has been amazing since day one. Having a manager, mentor, and buddy to turn to for support has significantly helped in my development. Throughout the programme, I have gained invaluable experience, connections, and opportunities within my chosen field. I have also built strong relationships with other Early Talent members through our Business Project. The Early Talent activities were also enjoyable and valuable experiences to help us settle into the business."
Sid, Treasury student placement
