Speculative - Apprenticeship Programme
The vacancy
We’re the Pension Protection Fund (PPF). We protect millions of people in the UK who belong to defined benefit pension schemes. When these schemes fail, we’re ready to help.
We do this by paying our members, by charging a levy and by investing sustainably. Our work has a real impact on people’s lives, so we strive to do it well, with integrity and their future in mind.
An apprenticeship is an exciting option to consider - you get hands-on training and also the chance to put your skills into practice.
This is why the PPF is dedicated in offering a wide range of apprenticeships and the 2023/2024 financial year is no different.
We’re excited to offer apprenticeship opportunities within various areas across our organisation including; financial, investment, pensions, technology, communications, risk and customer service.
Depending on which programme you join, durations can be from 12 months to 4 years. Each of the programmes offer a fixed term training contract that will give you paid time to attend training that will lead to a recognised apprenticeship qualification, and in most cases a professional qualification too.
This is a great opportunity to put your learning into practice straight away, providing you with a great all-round valuable experience. The PPF has already been recognised with its apprenticeships by winning Apprentice Employer of the Year in 2019 at the Croydon Business Excellence Awards.
An important requirement for our apprentices is the right attitude! So, if you have a can do, open-minded approach with a desire to learn then we’d love to hear more from you.
If you believe you can contribute to all the hard work the PPF does to support its members, then we look forward to receiving your speculative application.
