The first 4 months will be based at Milton Keynes, completing mini placements in specialist finance teams.

There could be opportunities to develop your knowledge through external secondments. At the end of your 2-year scheme, you would be eligible for Finance Business Partner roles, earning a salary in the range of £43,588 - £49,037.
