Role
Who you are
- You’ll need to be at least 18 years old by the end of February 2027
- 5 Nat 5s at grade A-C, including both Maths and English
What the job involves
- 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
- Qualification – Level 3 Compliance & Risk apprenticeship with Kaplan. You’ll also get the chance to complete either the ICA International Advanced Certificate in Governance, Risk & Compliance or the International Advanced Certificate in Anti-Money Laundering
- At Lloyds Banking Group, protecting our 28 million customers isn’t just important. It’s essential. From everyday payments to big business deals, people count on us to keep their money and data safe
- That’s where you come in. As a Risk apprentice, you’ll learn how to spot problems before they happen, help teams stay on the right side of complex regulations, and keep our bank (and our customers) protected. Think of it as being the safety net for Britain’s biggest digital bank
- Two years. Real risks. Real impact: This two-year apprenticeship combines classroom learning with hands-on experience
- You’ll rotate through projects that show you just how wide-ranging risk management can be - from fraud prevention to regulatory compliance
- You’ll cover topics like:
- Understanding legal and regulatory frameworks (yes, the rules of the game)
- Presenting complex information clearly (because jargon doesn’t help anyone)
- Reporting and analysing risk situations
- How to build evidence-based reports leaders can act on
- And you won’t just learn theory. You’ll apply it in real life, every day
- Helping colleagues apply legal and regulatory frameworks
- Spotting and reducing potential risks before they grow
- Writing clear reports that help decision-makers take action
- Communicating risks in ways that everyone can understand
- You’ll master:
- Risk and compliance basics (the “must-haves” in financial services)
- Analytical thinking and evidence-based reporting
- Communication skills that make complex stuff simple
- How to keep customers, colleagues and the business safe
Application process
- The closing date to apply for this opportunity is 11th November 2025

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.
