About this apprentice employer

Our apprenticeships are the complete package.

You want real experience with a world-leading bank? You got it. A good wage and an industry-recognised qualification? It’s yours. What’s more, there’s a whole range of schemes for you to choose from. We’re talking entry, higher and degree-level apprenticeships. In areas like finance, tech, customer service…

What’s involved?

Every Santander apprenticeship scheme is different. Some last 12 months, others take up to four years. Some lead to a level 3 qualification, while others are on par with a degree.

However, every apprenticeship scheme offers you:

  • A real job with hands-on experience
  • Decent salary from day one
  • Tailored training and development
  • Chance to gain an industry-recognised qualification
  • The opportunity to join us full-time if you succeed

Who’s it for?

Almost everyone. If you’ve left school at 16 with GCSEs, an entry-level apprenticeship could be perfect. If you have A-levels, a higher or degree-level apprenticeship could be more your thing. We even have graduates doing them. They offer an excellent training in business, and there’s no upper age limit to becoming an apprentice.

What training and benefits will I get?

With each apprenticeship, we have a dedicated training provider to help you learn and get qualified. You could be learning though online courses, classroom sessions or a mixture of both. You’ll also have unlimited access to our own online learning portal, which provides training on a diverse range of subjects.
