FAQs

Want to find out more about our apprenticeships? Our FAQs are a good place to start.

Eligibility

It depends on the programme you're interested in. Our entry requirements will be clearly listed on our job adverts. 

All apprenticeships need a certain level of English and maths. You'll need to show evidence of GCSEs, National 5s or equivalent qualifications in these subjects, or take some extra English and maths qualifications alongside your apprenticeship. Don't worry though—we'll sort this out for you.

Yes, we do. You might need to provide evidence comparing your qualifications to UK standards (like a UK ENIC Statement of Comparability). If we need this, we'll let you know.  

Absolutely! Although if you get an offer that requires specific qualifications, you’ll need to achieve your predicted grades. Your offer will only become unconditional once you’ve got them.  

Yes, that’s fine. Our apprenticeships are advertised internally and externally. Please apply via Workday.

It depends... If your degree is in a totally unrelated subject and doesn’t overlap with your apprenticeship learning modules, you should be good to go. 

But if your degree is in a similar subject, or has modules that do overlap, we'll need to review your modules more closely. We might need to chat with you about it. 

You must have the legal right to work in the UK as we can’t offer sponsorship for apprenticeship roles.

Apprenticeship opportunities

There’s a huge range to choose from, from intermediate to degree level.

Have a think about what kind of work you’d like to do. Each apprenticeship is designed for a specific role, so ask yourself “What do I enjoy doing? What am I naturally good at? What are my strengths?” 

Why not take a look at some of our profiles to help you decide?

If you can’t see the right role for you right now, just register your interest for a particular apprenticeship or a specific location and we’ll be in touch when something becomes available. Head over to the Register your interest page and leave your details.

It depends on the programme. Our apprenticeships typically run from 12 months to three years.

Yes! Our apprenticeship vacancies are permanent positions from day one.

To feel proud! Plus of course everyone on our apprenticeships gets a nationally recognised qualification. Some apprenticeships progress to higher level programmes. You’ll find all the details in the job adverts.

Application process

We recruit all through the year – just keep checking our website for the latest apprenticeships available.

All across the UK in our Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches. We also have apprentice opportunities in many of our larger business hubs, such as Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Chester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Halifax, Leeds, London, Manchester and Newport. And if you’re not particularly close to any of these locations, why not experience life in a new city?

Head over to the Application Process page for all the details you need..

Assessment days are simply a chance for us to learn a bit more about you. They happen online or face to face, and you’ll be asked to complete a few straightforward tasks and activities which might include all, or some, of the following:  

  • a strengths-based interview 
  • a team exercise 
  • a presentation. 

If you’re invited to an assessment day, we’ll assess you against the criteria we’ve set for the role. Just be yourself and enjoy the experience! 

Energy and enthusiasm for our business and the role you’ve applied for. Do some research about our brands, our vision, and our competitors. Be ready to tell us why you’re interested in working for us and why you think the apprenticeship you’ve applied for matches your skills and interests.

You can get an inside view from someone who works at Lloyds Banking Group to help you prepare. Head over to this page to ask a question.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of previous work experience, but we’ll still need to assess if you have the right attitude and enthusiasm for our business and the apprenticeship you’ve applied for. Be ready to show us what other things you’ve done and any skills and experience you’ve gained from other activities – whether it’s volunteering or playing in a sports team.  

For example, if you play sport, you may be able to talk about being a team player or having to attend training sessions as well as keeping on track with your studies. Perhaps you’ve done a Duke of Edinburgh award or some volunteering work. Tell us about your experience doing this. Or maybe you’ve had a part-time or summer job and you can talk about what this has taught you.  

The role itself isn’t important, we’re just interested in any skills and experience you’ve picked up that you can transfer into your apprenticeship. It’s who you are and what you can offer that matters.  

If you experience any issues during our application process, please contact us at lloydsbankinggroup@cappfinity.com 

Pay and benefits

You’ll be a permanent colleague from day one, so you’ll be paid in line with the role you’ve applied for. There’s salary information on all our job adverts. As a minimum, if you work full time you can expect to earn at least £22,000 per year. 

There’s a fantastic range of benefits! They’ve been carefully chosen to support your lifestyle, health, wellbeing and finances. You can choose the benefits that best suit your needs and even switch them up as your circumstances change.

We want everyone here to have a healthy work-life balance, so there’s a great holiday allowance to help you achieve it. You’ll start with a minimum of 22 days holiday, rising to a maximum of 30 days based on how long you work with us and the grade of your role. And what’s more, you also get bank holidays in addition to your allowance, and you’ll have the opportunity to ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ the equivalent of a week’s holiday through our ‘Flex’ scheme.
