BFS unveils apprenticeship scheme

Published on

Bibby Financial Services (BFS) has launched an apprenticeship scheme to find new talent for roles in its Manchester and Banbury offices.

Successful candidates will follow a programme, accredited by the BBP University, and will be guaranteed a permanent position with the independent business funder upon completion. There are no prerequisite qualification required and candidates taken-on will be offered “competitive” salaries and BFS’ employee rewards scheme.

Wendy Taylor, BFS’s global HR director, claimed the scheme was unique in that it offers apprentices opportunities to train in a variety of roles across the business.

She said: “We’re committed to the local communities that we operate within and this is a fantastic opportunity for candidates to work in a number of different teams across the business.

“Our apprentice scheme forms part of our wider recruitment strategy to attract the country’s leading talent, across a range of disciplines including sales, marketing, risk and operations.

“Unlike other apprenticeship schemes – which often focus training on one area – we offer our candidates valuable, hands-on experience across a range of positions. This gives them a holistic and unique understanding of the business, which is a great way to kick-start their careers.”

Seven apprenticeships are being recruited for the business’s specialist products division and successful candidates will start their new roles in September. Two roles will be based in the funder’s Manchester office at Salford Quays, with the remaining five roles based in Banbury.

Training and development modules include processes and systems, products and markets, risk and compliance, commerciality and customer service. The course gives a combination of university accredited education, alongside hands-on training, provided by BFS’ in-house training team.
