Finance teams are balancing day-to-day transactions with reporting, forecasting, analysis and supporting wider business decisions. If too much routine activity is sitting with experienced members of the team, an apprentice can help build additional capacity at the right level. Our AAT Accountancy apprenticeships offer routes from Accounts / Finance Assistant Level 2 through to Assistant Accountant Level 3 and Professional Accounting Technician Level 4. We can look at your current finance structure, where you need more support and whether the right solution is recruiting someone new or developing someone already in the team. Hiring aged 16–24? Eligible employers recruiting younger apprentices could benefit from fully funded training, with a £2,000 hiring payment also available subject to eligibility.

Expectations around skills, competence and professionalism in housing are increasing. From October 2026, the new Competence and Conduct Standard will introduce further requirements around the competence of people delivering social housing services. For employers, now is a good time to look across the housing team. Where are responsibilities changing? Who is taking on more? Where do you need additional capability or new talent? Our Housing and Property apprenticeships can support employees at different stages, from Housing / Property Management Level 3 through to Senior Housing / Property Management Level 4. We can look at your current roles, workforce needs and future plans and help identify the right route for your organisation. If recruitment is part of that plan, eligible employers recruiting younger apprentices could also benefit from fully funded training, with a £2,000 hiring payment available subject to eligibility.

How much time are managers and experienced employees spending on routine tasks that could sit elsewhere? Admin, inboxes, meetings, records, follow-ups, and customer queries all need doing — but they don’t always need to sit with your most senior people. Recruiting a Business Support apprentice can add practical support across the business and create more capacity in the team. Depending on what your business needs, this could be an Administration Assistant, Business Administrator or Customer Service apprentice. We can look at what your team is currently picking up, where more support is needed and help identify the right apprenticeship route. Hiring aged 16–24? Eligible employers recruiting younger apprentices could benefit from fully funded training, with a £2,000 hiring payment also available subject to eligibility.
