St. James's Place (SJP) is a leading Wealth Management company which works in partnership to plan, grow and protect our clients’ financial futures. We deliver personalised, face-to-face financial advice to our clients, who trust us to manage their money to reach their goals.

The Marketing Campaigns Apprenticeship Programme in our Client Communications and Marketing (CCM) Function offers a fantastic alternative to university, combining practical on-the-job experience with structured learning and development.
