Apprentice Position at Vintage Bentley

Vintage Bentley, established 30 years ago as a specialist working exclusively on W.O Bentley’s made between 1922 and 1932, is offering an apprentice position. You will be working with an experienced team of 25 highly skilled staff servicing, repairing, restoring, and making parts, including CNC and manual machining.

About the Role

This apprenticeship combines old-school engineering with cutting-edge technology. You will assist highly skilled engineers with the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of W.O Bentley’s made between 1922 and 1932.

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.
