What you’ll be doing:

We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do.

As an apprentice, and whatever you’ve studied, we’ll help make sure you get the most out of your time with us.

As a member of the Process Simplification and Optimisation Delivery, you will be part of a scrum team comprising of analysts, business users (Subject Matter Experts) and other developers to develop and implement simplified and optimised processes for our customers and internal users. You will be treated as an equal part of the team and work on the same tasks as more senior colleagues - with support and learning provided where needed.

You will work with cutting edge technologies and tools across Robotic Process Automation, Data Visualisation and Orchestration, to ensure simplified and optimised processes are delivered and maintained in line with Centre of Excellence methodologies, design standards, tools, and governance framework.

Throughout you will be coached by experts in various fields like UI/UX design, reporting, database development etc. to help you continue to learn and grow.

What we look for:

We’re looking for people that are interested in both the industry and the sector but ultimately those that are looking for a career which will reward them in both job satisfaction and development. During your apprenticeship, you will gain important insights and skills which will prepare you well for your future career, as well as learning from some of the best in the industry.

In addition, we look for people with the following skills and behaviours:

• Interested in pursuing a technical career
• Have a passion for exploring new topics and pro-actively seek out opportunities to learn new things
• Seek out challenges and approach them with a can-do attitude
• Logical problem-solving approach, good analytical skills
• Creative in solving problems, able to articulate multiple ways to solve the same problem
• Experience building a technical solution (can be a simple macro, website, app) is a plus but not a requirement

We welcome applications from students from all educational backgrounds. If you’re inquisitive and ambitious, an apprenticeship at Fidelity could be a great opportunity for you.

As a minimum requirement you’ll need to:

• GCSE Grade 4 or above in English and Maths and a Further Education qualification (A Levels, BTEC, IB etc.)
• Be available to join us in September 2022
• Have good computer skills (knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point preferred)
• Have excellent communication skills

Our clients come from all walks of life and so do we. We are proud of our inclusive culture and encourage applications from the widest mix of talent, whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, social background and more.

As a flexible employer, we trust our people to perform their role in the way that works best for them, our clients and our business. We are a disability-friendly company and would welcome a conversation with you if you feel you might benefit from any reasonable adjustments to perform to the best of your ability during the recruitment process and beyond.

Training and Development

During your time on programme, you will have the opportunity to complete either the Level 3 Software Developer Technician or Level 4 Software Developer learning standard.

Over your two-year apprenticeship programme, you will be based in our Surrey offices, where you’ll not only learn how our operations team contribute to making our organisation work seamlessly, but also build your knowledge of the wider business.

You’ll start your apprenticeship with a mini induction during which we’ll introduce you to investment management and how it fits into the City. After that, there are many more ways to develop your skills as your apprenticeship progresses.

At every stage, your development will be underpinned by the best apprenticeship training and professional certified courses.

Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of apprentices. You will be highly valued here, so your development is heavily invested in from day one.

Social and networking events will help you get to know our people and culture. All the while you’ll be learning on the job, working to clear goals and understanding your own potential.

Future Opportunities

During your time with us you’ll get to learn even more about what you enjoy, what you’re great at, and how to develop the career path that’s perfect for you. Our apprenticeship programmes may even lead to full-time opportunities if that’s what you’re looking for.
