Enjoy opportunities to help us drive projects forward and solve problems using your own logic and initiative. By the end of the internship, you’ll have brand new skills, advanced knowledge and loads more confidence – all helping you power through the final year of university!

“I was given so many great opportunities throughout the year which allowed me to develop a number of vital skills. It was really beneficial being able to apply the theory you learn at university to real life situations. One major positive of the scheme is the amount of responsibility you are given at such an early stage in your career, you aren’t treated any differently to other fully qualified colleagues, which made me feel really valued from day one.”

Toby Lomas, former Finance Intern
