Start: September 2027

Qualifications: BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance Manager degree with Manchester Metropolitan University. Once you complete your degree, you will continue your learning to become fully CIMA qualified.

At Lloyds Banking Group, Finance is less about adding things up and more about making things happen. Big things. It’s the engine room that powers us. It’s strategy. It’s insight. It’s action. And if you’re one of our Accountancy apprentices, you’re not just along for the ride. You’re driving.

From the moment you join, you’re in the thick of it - shaping decisions, driving change and helping us deliver for millions of customers.

Think of this as your 5 year all access pass to the inner workings of the UK’s biggest bank. You’ll rotate through different teams - in Finance and beyond - to see every angle of how we run the show.

• Keeping us on track in Core Finance with monthly reporting, budgeting and forecasting.
• Spotting the fine print in Audit & Assurance so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Being our safety net in Risk & Governance.
• Plotting the big moves in Strategic Business Management.
• Steering the money in Taxation & Treasury.
• Or breaking out of Finance entirely - working with other business areas, getting closer to customers and seeing how we Help Britain Prosper.

This isn’t “sit quietly and take notes” learning. This is “grab a seat at the table” learning. You'll be forecasting performance or producing key reports. Analysing risk, advising on investments, and solving complex problems alongside multi‑skilled teams of finance and tech experts. All while gaining a 360° view of how finance powers the Group.

You’ll master how to create, verify and review accurate, timely financial information. And grow your soft skills like collaboration, communication and influencing (the good kind). Plus, you’ll get your hands on the kind of tech that makes old‑school spreadsheets look like cave paintings - data analytics platforms, next‑gen reporting tools and more.

We’ll cover the cost of your degree and pay you a salary while you learn, giving you the opportunity to earn a fully funded BA (Hons) degree in Accounting & Finance and become CIMA qualified. By the end, you won’t just understand Finance. You’ll have the skills, confidence and qualifications to take your career anywhere.

You’ll need to be at least 18 years old on 1st September 2027.

GCSEs at grade 4 – 9 in both Maths and English (achieved).

You’ll need a minimum of 104 UCAS points (these grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications).

An additional requirement for the apprenticeship position is that you must currently possess a valid Right to Work in the UK. Your visa end date must extend beyond the duration of the apprenticeship programme, which will last up to five years.

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.

This apprenticeship is based in Bristol, and you will be expected to work from your primary office throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week (40% for full-time colleagues), apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period.

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns.

You will join us on a fixed apprenticeship salary. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be re-graded, with your pay range consistent with the job family for your business area.

The closing date to apply for this opportunity is 1st December 2026. Our roles generate a lot of interest and occasionally we need to close for applications earlier than originally advertised. If you think working with us could be right for you, please apply now and see where an apprenticeship with us can take you!
