Join Lloyds Banking Group as a Commercial & Business Banking Apprentice based in Bristol Harbourside.

Apprentices are paid a fixed salary (A326,500) and receive a benefits package including pension contributions, performance-related bonus, share schemes and paid holiday.
The role is based in Bristol with hybrid working; apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period and to work from their primary office throughout the programme.
