Your role at a glance

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to earn while you learn?

The L&G Apprentice programme has been designed to help you reach your potential. You will develop your skill set, gain valuable work experience and complete a fully funded professional qualification, all whilst earning a competitive salary with access to outstanding employee benefits.

With support every step of the way and access to core skills training, you will contribute to the success of a team and be supported by a dedicated line manager. As part of a cohort of apprentices, you will also have the opportunity to connect with your peers and colleagues though networking opportunities and social events.

Joining L&G is the beginning to a future that will be anything but familiar. So take a closer look, get involved, be curious and find out how we will enable you to be at your best no matter who you are.

What does this team do?

Business Analysis Apprentices will join L&G's Discovery and Automation team. The team provide analysis services to support our customers to realise improvements, change and transformation. Discovery and Automation have 6 core principles that help us to achieve this - knowledge sharing, innovative, keep it simple, data driven, sustainable and community focus.

Services the team perform include:
  • investigating a business situation (as-is)
  • recommending options or solutions to resolve a problem
  • defining business needs (requirements)
  • implementing a project or programme of change
  • modelling business processes to understand the business better and what the future state (to be) will look like.
As a business analyst, no project or programme is the same and no working day is the same, so if you like variety within a safe environment (e.g. industry standards, guidelines and best practice) and you love to ask questions to delve deeper and understand why something does (or doesn't) work - then a career in business analysis is for you.

We can only accept one application per cycle for our apprenitceship roles, so please consider this before submitting as your first application will be considered your only application.
