Financial Services Apprentice Review

I will complete admin tasks to support financial consultants day to day, setting them up with the correct clients, changing addresses, completing subject access requests, setting up conference calls, hotels and travel. I have my few hours studying a day and take time away from my desk to concentrate with this.

coming into a place of work like Wesleyan has allowed me to gain skills all over such as confidence, good organisation, teamwork. The company can never offer enough support and are constantly looking for areas to develop for myself. I've also become more independent, you do things for yourself but your not afraid to ask questions.

I really enjoy the routine of my work, from coming from sixth form it really makes your life change and everyone is there to support you. I have great relationships with colleagues especially a lot of other apprentices. I definitely see my career developing at Wesleyan and you are never stuck in one job or one tunnel if you aren't happy.

Very structured. I have 7 hours a week to split between my coursework and my revision for an exam I've been put forward to do. I get a good work/study balance and split my time evenly. Wesleyan has a lot of opportunities to take any exams. My apprenticeship is 2 years and I have a lot of support if I need to go over things that I don't get.

There is a lot of contacts that I can depend on to give me advice, I'll either walk over to either my team or line manager or my mentor even anyone on my floor! I have monthly 1:1's and monthly catch ups with my mentor to support me in the process and to come up with objectives for my future progression and aims in the company.

I have phone calls and emails from my training provider as I don't actually go to the college, I do all my studying at work. I can ask a lot of questions but I get a lot of support from people in Wesleyan as there is a lot of people doing the same qualifications so they're a big help.

I t helps a lot as it is everything to do with the financial services and products that we offer. It is about the regulation and ethics of financial services and I will need this information as I will be going through different teams within my apprenticeship that will have to know these aspects.

Yes, we have volunteering days, bootcamps, zumba, loads of networking events and especially a lot of different courses that we get put on and it's all paid for!! these courses including knowledge around being effective with emails, engaging at the top, leadership, help with crucial conversations, there is loads.

Yes

I couldn't really say any bad things about it, it has started my career off and I'm excited looking forward what it will bring! I feel very happy coming to work and am really enjoying the social side of the company also, a lot to do and many benefits to consider.

Research the company, get excited for all the benefits, don't hesitate to apply, be confident and most importantly be yourself!!!!! There is so much to explore in Wesleyan and so many different job roles that will suit you, get in where you can as you will enjoy it no matter what!
