Job Description Summary
Here at Lloyds Banking Group, we are passionate about delivering a high-quality apprenticeship experience to support everyone to realise their full potential.
It’s a chance to learn skills, gain qualifications and earn a salary, all while playing an important role in making finance a force for good.
This particular vacancy is open to those who have recently left school.
Job Description
As an Internal Audit apprentice, you’ll rotate through placements during your apprenticeship where everything you’ll learn will be relevant and readily applicable in your day-to-day role. Our central role offers a unique perspective on how Lloyds Banking Group functions.
We’ll support your study to Chartered Internal Auditor with the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors. Over a 4.5-year period, you’ll complete the level 4 Internal Audit Practitioner apprenticeship, before moving onto the level 7 Internal Audit Professional apprenticeship, (equivalent to a SCQF 11 qualification in Scotland).
Once you’ve completed the apprenticeship you’ll not only have your Chartered Internal Auditor status but will also have your Masters in Internal Audit Management & Consultancy.
Your placements will be in different teams:

• Teams that work with the business: these teams look at how the bank works for our customers. You’ll get to explore diverse areas such as retail banking, insurance and commercial banking
  

• Teams that focus on risk: these teams look at the engine room of the organisation; the specialist areas that allow bank operations to work as fluidly as possible. You could find yourself anywhere from people to data or finance to cyber security.
  

To broaden your skills and learn how other business areas work across the organisation, you’ll also complete a placement outside Internal Audit in a different part of Lloyds Banking Group.
Our recruitment process has 3 steps - our online application, online assessments and an assessment day. You will be given full details of the process throughout your recruitment journey.
Key dates for your diary:

• Assessment day: March / April 2024
  
• Start: end of September 2024
  

Starting Salary: £29,431
