Opportunity Details
Be their safety net
At Lloyds Banking Group, protecting 28 million customers isn’t just important — it’s essential. From everyday payments to major business deals, people count on the Group to keep their money and data safe.
That’s where Risk Apprentices come in. They learn how to spot problems before they happen, help teams stay on the right side of complex regulations, and keep the bank — and its customers — protected. Think of it as being the safety net for Britain’s biggest digital bank.
Two years. Real risks. Real impact
This two-year apprenticeship combines classroom learning with hands-on experience. Apprentices rotate through projects that show just how wide-ranging risk management can be — from fraud prevention to regulatory compliance.
They’ll cover topics like:
- Understanding legal and regulatory frameworks (yes, the rules of the game)
- Presenting complex information clearly (because jargon doesn’t help anyone)
- Reporting and analysing risk situations
- Building evidence-based reports leaders can act on
And they won’t just learn theory — they’ll apply it in real life, every day.
The work they could be doing:
- Helping colleagues apply legal and regulatory frameworks
- Spotting and reducing potential risks before they grow
- Writing clear reports that help decision-makers take action
- Communicating risks in ways that everyone can understand
Their skills toolkit:
They’ll master:
- Risk and compliance basics (the “must-haves” in financial services)
- Analytical thinking and evidence-based reporting
- Communication skills that make complex stuff simple
- How to keep customers, colleagues and the business safe
