Duration: 5 years

Salary: £26,500 plus fantastic benefits

See the small stuff? Shape the big stuff

If you’re big on small details and love solving problems, welcome to your happy place.

At Lloyds Banking Group, Audit is about keeping our business secure, fair and future‑ready. We protect the Group’s assets, reputation and sustainability. And as an apprentice you’ll be part of it from the moment you join.

Making a real impact

Audit’s job is to make sure our risk management, governance and internal controls are rock‑solid. We’re here to keep the business and 28 million customers safe.

That means spotting risks before they become problems, making recommendations that matter, and helping keep the Group fair, trusted and future‑proof.

And here’s something that might surprise you. Our Audit team has its own industry‑leading Data Science unit. We’re experimenting with AI and embedding it into daily audit life. And as an apprentice, you’ll get hands‑on time with these tools, learning how tech is transforming the profession.

Learn it. Do it. Own it

Audit isn’t about sitting on the sidelines. We don’t give you a clipboard. Instead, within three months you’ll be working on live audits - observing, contributing, and taking on cases of your own.

As you progress, you’ll spend time in areas like:

• Business Banking
• Insurance
• Technology

Plus, a 6‑month placement outside Audit, an opportunity to work alongside teams like Finance, Tech, Risk and Customer Services - giving you a 360° view of how we get things done. These will be defined during your programme.

Your licence to ask “Why?”

This is a 5‑year apprenticeship programme based in Bristol and Edinburgh, initially run in partnership with Kaplan - working towards the Level 4 Internal Audit Practitioner qualification. After completion, you’ll then progress to further education and higher level professional qualifications.

In your first 18–24 months, Kaplan will guide you through Level 4, with workshops from the Institute of Internal Auditors on things like:

• Corporate Governance and Risk Management
• Internal Audit Planning
• Interpersonal Skills

Your future, fully funded

You’ll earn a competitive salary from day one. Your learning - all of it - tuition, exams, study materials, professional memberships - is covered.

With a team of around 300 audit pros working across a Group of 70,000+ colleagues, the career opportunities are endless.

By the end, you won’t just understand Audit - you’ll be ready to shape it. You’ll have the skills, qualifications and confidence to take your career anywhere. And you’ll have played a key role in Helping Britain Prosper.
