How will my apprenticeship work?
Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll work alongside your colleagues, learning new skills and gaining experience. You'll spend a minimum of six hours per week developing skills and qualifications in ‘off-the-job training’.
Whilst you should complete most of an apprenticeship within your working hours, there is an expectation that apprentices spend some personal time studying.
You'll work towards a professional qualification and will be assessed through coursework and exams. You'll also complete an ‘End Point Assessment’ at the end of the apprenticeship.

Employment at Nationwide is conditional upon you having the right to work lawfully in the UK in the role you are applying for.
Nationwide welcomes applications from all candidates, but as a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) approved sponsor, we have a responsibility to comply with the applicable Immigration Rules and guidance (which are subject to change).
The Skilled Worker route has specific requirements relating to skill level of the role and minimum salary expectations. As such, our ability to employ individuals who require sponsorship for immigration purposes is limited. Nationwide cannot guarantee that you and/or the role you are applying for will be eligible for sponsorship either on commencement of employment or during the course of employment, or that any application made to UKVI will be successful.
Eligibility will therefore be considered on a case by case basis. For some of our programmes and locations we expect our ability to sponsor to be limited or not possible due to the salary requirements outlined in the Immigration Rules.
Unfortunately, Nationwide are unable to advise on whether you will meet the eligibility for visa sponsorship or other immigration routes.
Nationwide does not support the personal costs associated with a Skilled Worker visa application, namely personal visa application fees and Immigration Health Surcharge costs.
Any offer of employment is subject to providing the appropriate proof of right-to-work status within the UK prior to your start date and for the duration of the programme applied for.
Rewarding you
High performing and purpose-driven people deserve rewarding career experiences and highly competitive benefits to match. We're a workplace where you're rewarded, recognised, supported and celebrated. It's all here at Nationwide.
