About the programme
Kickstart your career in financial services with the Baillie Gifford apprenticeship programme.
You’ll secure a permanent role within one of our teams, gaining hands-on experience in a job as you study towards industry-accredited apprentice qualifications.
There will be lots of opportunities for you to learn on the job, expand your knowledge and skills, with full support provided.
You will be adding value to your team, exploring a range of opportunities that will help you progress your career.
What we look for
If you’re aged 16 or over, are curious, self-motivated and have the desire to learn, an apprenticeship at Baillie Gifford could be just what you’re looking for.
We’re more interested in your enthusiasm and desire to learn than in your subjects and grades. We consider the diverse backgrounds of our people a key strength, and value the unique contributions each of us brings.
We look for signs that you are or could be self-motivated, a team player, and a good communicator, but more importantly, we want to see how you can use your initiative and rise to the challenge. Let us know what you’re passionate about. We’re genuinely interested, even if it’s not directly related to the role.
