Your data journey starts here. Show us what you're made of

At Lloyds Banking Group, data isn't just numbers on a screen. It's the fuel for every decision we make, every problem we solve, every idea that takes us forward.

We're the UK's biggest digital bank, with 23 million customers logging in, tapping and scrolling every day. And with £3bn a year going into cloud, AI and analytics, we're serious about data shaping the future.

As a Data Apprentice, you'll learn how to tame big, messy datasets, spot patterns no one else can see, and turn them into insights that make banking smarter, safer and simpler.

Along the way, you'll dive into:

• SQL and advanced data joins (yes, the fun kind)

• Predictive modelling & forecasting (basically, time travel with stats)

• Data visualisation & storytelling (making numbers talk)

• Analytics lifecycles & data democratisation

• Statistical programming languages

• Building data products people actually use

By the end, you won't just know data. You'll live and breathe data.

The impact you could make

• Spot patterns that stop fraud before it happens

• Help millions of customers make smarter money choices

• Build dashboards that leaders can't live without

• Make data accessible, ethical and useful for everyone

Your skills toolkit

You'll master:

• SQL, Python and other stats superpowers

• Visualisation that makes people go "ohhh, now I get it"

• Forecasting and modelling

• AI literacy and applied analytics

• Turning complexity into clarity

Support in your corner

• Blended learning: real projects + classroom theory

• Time carved out just for your development

• A mentor, a manager and a buddy (because no one should debug alone)

• A community that shares your passion and goals

Your future. Fully funded

We'll cover your salary and fully fund your qualifications, setting you up for success with a level 4 apprenticeship in Data and AI. You'll gain hands-on experience working with some of the UK's largest and most complex datasets and develop versatile skills that open doors across analytics and AI.

Location

This apprenticeship is based in Birmingham, and you will be expected to work from your primary office throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week (40% for full-time colleagues), apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period.

If your commute exceeds 1.5 hours, we strongly recommend relocating closer to the office to ensure consistent attendance in line with contractual and hybrid working expectations.

Salary and benefits

You will join us on a fixed apprenticeship salary. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be re-graded, with your pay range consistent with the job family for your business area.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

• An annual performance-related bonus

• Share schemes including free shares

• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

• 22 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top

• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
