Location: Derby

Duration: 5 years

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

By joining Rolls-Royce in an Emerging Talent programme, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.

Position summary:

Imagine combining your passion for numbers with the skills to understanding the story behind them. And in doing so, making sure a world-leading company performs at its best. As a Finance Professional Apprentice at Rolls-Royce, you’ll learn how essential responsible and effective accounting is to the running of our business. Along with the difference your expertise and support can make to teams throughout our business. All while gaining real work experience, earning a salary and studying towards a Master’s level professional qualification.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll complete five, year-long placements in different areas of finance, giving you an unrivalled breadth of experience. This might mean working in our Financial Accounting and Reporting team, in Finance Shared Services within one of our business areas, or as a Finance Business Partner to colleagues across Rolls-Royce.

One placement will be in a specialist area, such as Group Finance, Treasury, Tax or Internal Audit. On each placement, you’ll be responsible for completing core tasks and supporting teams across our business. This will give you a solid understanding of the fundamentals of finance and a strong foundation on which to build an amazing career.

You will essentially complete two apprenticeships within this programme: one at Level 4 followed immediately by one at Level 7. Before you start working towards your Level 4 apprenticeship, there will be some initial training to give you the essential knowledge you need.

Who we’re looking for:

Five GCSEs which must include a minimum of Maths at grade 5/B, English Language at grade 4/C plus 3 others at grade 4/C.

112 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:

3 A-levels with at least a grade C in either Maths, Physics, Business Studies or Economics

A Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in a business or finance discipline at grade DDM

If you have equivalent qualifications, please contact us.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. We look for people who don’t just enjoy working with numbers but are curious to delve into them and unpick what they are telling us.

Beyond that, you’ll need to be someone who can ask questions, interrogate data, and doesn’t only want to know more about the world of finance but is eager to excel within it.

Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We’ll expect that of you, too.

What you’ll get:

A competitive starting salary with annual pay rises

33 days’ holiday per year (including bank holidays)
