Requirements  

What you’ll need to apply 

Important information 

An additional requirement for the apprenticeship position is that you must currently possess a 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 4.5 years.

Due to Home Office requirements regarding Skilled Workers, we’re unable to accept applications for visa sponsorship for our apprenticeship roles as the proposed salary for the role does not meet the minimum threshold – if this situation applies to you, please consider looking for other vacancies which may be more suitable. 

Location

This apprenticeship is based in Edinburgh, and you will be expected to work from your primary office throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week (40% for full-time colleagues), 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.

Palpable Score

/ 100
Lloyds Banking Group is an accessible early-career employer because Lloyds Banking Group runs a full ladder of apprenticeships, undergraduate placements, internships, and graduate schemes with published salaries on many programmes. Lloyds Banking Group is also clearer than many banks about what happens at the assessment stage, although transparency still varies by programme and role. Learning support is well-specified for several flagship schemes, while public outcome metrics like conversion rates and time-to-promotion are still missing.
