Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

As an Accounts Assistant at Peacock Insurance Services, you’ll become a key part of our friendly and supportive office team, working closely with colleagues across accounts, administration, and customer service. No two days are the same- from processing invoices and maintaining financial records to supporting reconciliations and helping with day-to-day office operations.

This role offers hands-on experience in finance and business administration within a professional insurance environment. You’ll gain valuable skills in accounting processes, financial record keeping, expense management, and office systems, while developing your communication, organisation, and problem-solving abilities. With full training provided and ongoing support from experienced colleagues, this is an excellent opportunity to build a strong foundation for a long-term career in finance and administration.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

  • Processing invoices and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Assisting with bank reconciliations and expense tracking
  • Supporting the preparation and organisation of financial documentation
  • Handling internal and external queries in a professional manner
  • Providing general administrative support to the accounts and office teams
  • Updating and maintaining company systems and databases
  • Ensuring records are accurate, up to date, and compliant with company procedures
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across different departments to support daily business operations
  • Learning and applying accounting principles and office processes as part of their apprenticeship training
  • Supporting ad hoc finance and administrative tasks as required

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
