Requirements

• At least 18 years old on 1st September 2027

• 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.
• Because the salary does not meet the minimum threshold for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship, we’re unable to accept applications for visa sponsorship for our apprenticeship roles.

Location and hybrid working

This apprenticeship is based in Birmingham, and you will be expected to work from your primary office location throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week, apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period. If your commute exceeds 1.5 hours, we strongly recommend relocating closer to the office to ensure consistent attendance in line with contractual and hybrid working expectations.

About working for us

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 were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer Initiative.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.

We provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to reduce or remove barriers. Just let us know what you need.

Salary & Benefits

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be re-graded, with your pay range consistent with the job family for your business area. We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 22 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
