Summary
Are you organised, detail-oriented and keen to build a career in accounting? Join us at Warrington as a Finance Apprentice and gain hands-on experience within a busy Finance team while studying towards a nationally recognised qualification.
Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
You'll complete the Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Standard through Warrington & Vale Royal College, developing knowledge and skills in accounting principles, financial processes, business communication and professional practice. The programme follows a weekly day-release model, meaning you'll typically spend one day each week at the Warrington & Vale Royal College campus and the remainder of the week gaining practical experience on-site with our Finance team in Warrington. This blend of classroom learning and real-world application will help you build a strong foundation for a successful career in finance.
Working alongside experienced finance professionals, you'll support a range of financial and administrative activities, including:
- Processing purchase invoices and credit notes
- Supporting supplier payments and expense administration
- Reconciling supplier statements and maintaining accurate records
- Responding to finance queries from colleagues and suppliers
- Maintaining financial information and supporting reporting activities
- Assisting with general office and administrative tasks to support the wider team
Where you'll work
Unit 50, Melford Court Hardwick Grange Woolston Warrington WA1 4RZ
Training
Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
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.
