Job Description Summary
Job Title: Professional Accounting Technician (Finance) Apprentice
Salary: £25,000 starting salary, plus fantastic benefits
Location(s): Bristol
Hours: Full-time
Start: Early to mid-September 2025
Working Pattern: We will want you to be working in the office most of the time as you settle into your role with a view to moving to hybrid working where you will be in your hub office for a minimum of two days per week.
What you’ll learn
As a Finance apprentice, you’ll gain expertise and the ability to create, verify and review accurate and timely financial information, meeting relevant ethical, professional and legal standards and accounting practices. Throughout the apprenticeship, you will be stretched and challenged to develop your technical knowledge and skills and to apply what you learn in your day-to-day role.
Your apprenticeship will take around two years to complete, and cover key areas such as:
* Audit and assurance
* Finance, accounting and reporting
* Management accounting
* Governance, risk and control
* Strategic business management
* Taxation
On completion of your level 4 apprenticeship, you’ll progress to a higher level qualification, which will deepen your understanding of finance and mean you’ll end the scheme as a fully qualified chartered accountant - a combined study time of around four to five years. During this time, you’ll complete five 12 month rotations within the Finance function.
As part of your apprenticeship, we’ll support your study to complete the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification.
What you’ll need
* GCSE (or equivalent) at grade 4-9 in both Maths and English (Language and/or Literature)
* PLUS - 3 A levels (or equivalent) at grade A*-C.
These grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications.
* You’ll need to be at least 18 years old on 1st September 2025.
Whilst we welcome candidates who have a degree, this cannot be in a field related to the apprenticeship due to a crossover in learning. We’ll request a copy of your degree module transcript to review if your degree may contain prior learning.
Important information
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.

You will join us on a fixed apprenticeship salary where you’ll be eligible for annual pay reviews. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, your salary will be increased in line with the grade and pay range for your role.
We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:
* A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
* An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
* Share schemes including free shares
* Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
