  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I work within Treausry Services in an Operations role for the bank. On a daily basis I solve client queries and set up direct debit and standing orders on our clients accounts. I also reconcile some of our nostro accounts we hold with partner banks to ensure the flow of payments is happening as we would expect. If there are eber any problems I must escalate to management as and when it is appropriate.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the 18 month programme with JP Morgan and would recommend this to anyone who asked. The opportunities I have been offered are incredible and I know I made the right decision for me to enter into this programme rather than going on to university to study towards a degree.

  • The programme is very well structured, where all apprentices in my departmnet complete three six month rotations in differnet teams. This means we are able to gain more knowledge of the area and also get a fele for where we think we would like to role iff into after the programme has completed. Our managers provide us with a lot of support along with the Bournemouth Schools Program team.
