Role
Who you are
- Please note: In order to complete an apprenticeship there needs to be a significant learning need. You need to consider your previous qualifications or significant relevant work experience which may mean you cannot proceed with this application
- You’ll need to be at least 18 years old by the end of February 2027
- Nat 5 at grades A-C in both in Maths and English - Obtained
- 4 Highers at grades BBCC – one of these Highers will need to be Maths at grade B - These grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications
- To be eligible for this Graduate Apprenticeship, you must also meet the Scottish Government’s funding eligibility criteria which includes:
- Currently residing in Scotland. If you're not based in Scotland, don’t worry, you can join the team in Bristol and West Yorkshire in the equivalent Accounting & Finance Degree Apprentice. We’d love for you to consider applying there!
- Have lived in the UK for at least three years prior to the course start date
- Not already hold a qualification at the same or higher level than the one being offered
What the job involves
- 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
- And you’ll collect stories, skills and lifelong friends along the way
- 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
- And because we’re big on backing talent, you’ll have plenty of chances to show what you can do - and surprise even yourself - early on
- 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 master’s degree in accountancy and become a Chartered Accountant
- By the end, you won’t just understand Finance. You’ll have the skills, confidence and qualifications to take your career anywhere. Plus, a few extra letters after your name to show off
- And because we know talent comes from everywhere, we welcome people from all backgrounds. Whatever your story, there’s a place for you here
- Qualifications: MAcc Accountancy with Edinburgh Napier University. You’ll also become a Chartered Accountant with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
- 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
Application process
- The closing date to apply for this opportunity is 11th November 2025
- Start: Early September 2026
Our take
Lloyds Bank, part of Lloyds Banking Group, began operations back in 1765 and is nowadays one of the UK’s leading retail and commercial banks. As with many leading banks, the company has dealt with its share of controversy – including for its handling of PPI complaints in 2015, and the 2009 European Commission ruling that forced it to part ways with TSB – but it has nonetheless stood the test of time and worked to build back its public reputation in the wake of these setbacks.
Of the company’s 26 million customers, over 18 million of them are online, making it the largest UK digital bank. As part of its ongoing digital transformation, the company is seeking to put the cloud at the front of its services and systems, and has cited intentions to invest heavily in overhauling its current technology infrastructure. All this seeks to serve the modern banking customer, and to compete with the fast-increasing number of alternative banking options appearing on the market.
Recently, Lloyds Bank has shown great interest in facilitating innovation in the industry, joining as a partner on FinTech Action Labs (a FinTech accelerator programme) to bring its industry expertise to early-stage FinTechs. As well as investment in digital transformation and AI, the company is enhancing its wealth product and corporate banking offerings, as well as expanding its partnerships with digital banking companies.
