APPRENTICESHIP

OPPORTUNITIES

"WE WILL ORGANISE AN APPRENTICESHIP STUDY PROGRAMME AT FIRST INTUITION SO THAT YOU CAN START WORKING TOWARDS GAINING YOUR AAT QUALIFICATION."

ACCOUNTS APPRENTICE - FUND MANAGEMENT "We’re looking for an Apprentice to work in our Fund Management team in our Commercial division, so it's important to us that you are good with figures and are

get

involved

with

everything,

from

reconciling suppliers’ statements and paying suppliers to setting up ledgers, dealing with payroll for clients and completing and reconciling VAT returns.

BIDWELLS

The list of responsibilities is varied so this will be a great opportunity for the right person to become immersed in the running of an accounts team.

We

work

and

has

excellent attention to detail. You must hold Grade A-C (or equivalent) Maths and English GCSE and an A/AS Level in Maths or Accounting would be desirable, but certainly not essential. It is far better that your enthusiasm for working with figures is there, and that you have the right attitude to learning, and being part of a team.

You'll get the chance to grow with us. In-fact we really want you to progress and will do all we can to help. We will organise an apprenticeship study programme at First Intuition so that you can start working towards gaining your AAT qualification. At times, you may be working under pressure, but you will be someone who strives in this environment and enjoys working to tight deadlines. You must be capable of managing your own diary and workload."
