At Lloyds Banking Group, Finance is less about adding things up and more about making things happen. Big things. 

It’s the engine room that powers us. It’s strategy. It’s insight. It’s action. And if you’re one of Lloyds Banking Group's Finance apprentices, you’re not just along for the ride. You’re driving. 

From the moment you join, you’re in the thick of it - shaping decisions, driving change and helping Lloyds Banking Group deliver for millions of customers. 

Think of this as your 5‑year all‑access pass to the inner workings of the UK’s biggest bank. You’ll rotate through different teams - in Finance and beyond - to see every angle of how Lloyds Banking Group run the show. 

You could be: 

• Keeping Lloyds Banking Group on track in Core Finance with monthly reporting, budgeting and forecasting.
• Spotting the fine print in Audit & Assurance so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Being our safety net in Risk & Governance.
• Plotting the big moves in Strategic Business Management.
• Steering the money in Taxation & Treasury.
• Or breaking out of Finance entirely - working with other business areas, getting closer to customers and seeing how Lloyds Banking Group Help Britain Prosper.
