Finance Apprenticeship Programme in Wales

1 week ago


Wales, United Kingdom Audit Wales Full time

Are you interested in earning while learning? Then kick start your career with an alternative to university by joining our Finance Apprenticeship Programme. 

The Finance Apprenticeship Programme is aimed at those without degrees and has been designed to develop the next generation of finance leaders.

It is expected that future leaders will face a very different set of challenges and we are offering a foundation level programme that will support you in developing the skills you will need.

The programme will help you to achieve a renowned Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) finance qualification while working for the public sector watchdog for Wales. You will follow a two-year fixed-term apprenticeship programme, progressing from level 3 AAT through to level 4 AAT, while working with our teams across Wales to deliver a variety of audit services and help scrutinise and improve public services.

Your Role:

During your two-year fixed term employment contract, you will develop personal, professional, financial and auditing skills to help you in future roles. You will develop on the job skills, working within different teams and supporting the external audit of a number of different public sector bodies, such as councils, NHS bodies, Police and Fire services and more.

You will also learn how to establish and maintain good working relationships both internally and externally. It is expected that the level of responsibility and the complexity of the work required from you will increase over the duration of the scheme.

We encourage our apprentices to take responsibility for their own development and strive to improve their skills and knowledge, treating new assignments as an opportunity to apply what they have learned in a new environment or to gain new knowledge.

Public bodies are spread far and wide across Wales, so you will need to be flexible about working in a mobile, hybrid setting, working from home some days, and travelling to the office or to client sites normally at least two days per week, whilst studying one day a week on line for your AAT qualification. While we try and ensure that you work close to where you live, we can’t guarantee this. However, we can guarantee that no two days will be the same and you will join an organisation committed to supporting the development of finance leaders of the future.

Eligibility for the Apprenticeship

To be eligible for an apprenticeship, you must:

Have a right to live and work in the UK

Be resident in Wales or your employer is based permanently in Wales (you must spend at least 51% of your time based in Wales)

Have legally left school

Intend to stay in employment for the next 12 months

Not already be funded for other training courses by Welsh Government

Be paid the relevant National Minimum Wage

Work more than 16 hours per week.
