We pride ourselves on partnering with the business, and you’ll gain first-hand insight into how our dynamic business operates.

Our Finance Apprenticeship Programme is an exciting opportunity to gain a professional accounting qualification (AAT), whilst developing a rewarding career in our Finance team. The programme involves three years of study to become AAT-qualified through two apprenticeships: Level 3 Assistant Accountant and Level 4 Professional Accounting/Taxation Technician, all the while being paid in a full-time permanent finance role. During the three-year programme, whilst you work towards your qualification, you’ll support a number of important roles within key areas of our department, where you’ll get the chance to roll up your sleeves up and get really stuck in.
