Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
You'll complete the Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Standard through Warrington & Vale Royal College, developing knowledge and skills in accounting principles, financial processes, business communication and professional practice.
The programme follows a weekly day-release model, meaning you'll typically spend one day each week at the Warrington & Vale Royal College campus and the remainder of the week gaining practical experience on-site with our Finance team in Warrington. This blend of classroom learning and real-world application will help you build a strong foundation for a successful career in finance.
Working alongside experienced finance professionals, you'll support a range of financial and administrative activities, including:
- Processing purchase invoices and credit notes
- Supporting supplier payments and expense administration
- Reconciling supplier statements and maintaining accurate records
- Responding to finance queries from colleagues and suppliers
- Maintaining financial information and supporting reporting activities
- Assisting with general office and administrative tasks to support the wider team
