We understand that deciding whether University is right for you isn’t easy. Our Apprenticeship Programme is a fantastic opportunity to complete a funded and supported qualification whilst you work within one of our divisions, gaining experience and training.

We employ our Apprentices on a permanent contract and consider ourselves responsible for their development path – with support from the programme manager and the wider business.

“I found the step up from college to a full-time job a challenge. It wasn’t easy for me, but with support from everyone at
St. James’s Place, I quickly noticed improvements in my personal development. “

Morgan, Apprentice

“There is no normal day for me at St. James’s Place, which is one of my favourite things about the job. I spent my first salary on a trip to Disneyland with my best friend – it was so worth it!”

Madi, Apprentice

“One of my favourite things about working for St. James’s Place is being able to apply for a local community grant each year for a charity of my choice, and being able to take 2 days of work time to volunteer.”

Ben, Apprentice
