We’re looking for people that love all things about software and technology and want to work with us towards a degree apprenticeship. The three-year programme starts in September 2025 in our Group Technology Office. You’ll be joining a team of tech-savvy professionals who love to innovate and solve problems. From day one you’ll play an important role in making sure that our technology is secure, efficient and meets the future needs of the business.
What’s in it for you?
Earn while you learn – gain a recognised degree with no student debt.
Competitive salary with regular reviews
Generous pension scheme of up to 14%
Life assurance of up to 8 x annual salary
24/7 confidential access to health, legal and financial advice
A structured programme that will see you rotate around the Technology team
Support from a dedicated People Leader, Rotation Lead and Buddy in addition to Ada’s network
Join a community of learners and mentors and be part of inclusion networks, social events and opportunities across the business
What will I be doing?
As part of this apprenticeship, you’ll study part time towards a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree at Ada, National College for Digital Skills and will meet the criteria of the Software Engineering pathway. This comprises technical training, workplace projects, off the job learning and an end point assessment. It is an 80:20 split: 80% in Royal London’s office and 20% on campus in central Manchester. The role will require you to work 35 hours per week Monday to Friday, with 1 week in every 8 spent training with Ada and the other 7 weeks working at Royal London on real projects that impact the lives of our customers and colleagues. Additionally, you’ll join an induction week to get to know other apprentices and help you balance undergraduate-level study with working full-time.

What else do I need to know?
You should be able to start work from mid-September 2025 and attend a 5 week Launchpad training programme at Ada college from late September 2025.
Our expectation is that you will come into the office for 100% of your time (when not learning). We believe spending time in the office gives you the best chance to build relationships, learn from others, and succeed - so we ask that apprentices be present full-time when not studying.
We welcome diverse perspectives.
At Royal London we believe your difference is our strength. Studies show that people from under-represented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement.So if this role excites you, but you don’t meet 100% of the criteria - please still apply. You could be exactly who we need.Training:Our Level 6 standard is integrated with a degree in Digital & Technology solutions which is validated by the Open University. Each cohort spends their first 5 weeks at college taking part in our Launchpad training.
This training not only covers modules for the degree programme but also ensures to prepare you for the workplace.
Following the Launchpad training you will return to your employer for 7-8 weeks returning to Ada for one-week blocks on a rotation basis. Training Outcome:What kind of work will I do?
You’ll get hands-on experience of designing, implementing and maintaining a range of business-critical technology solutions. With time you’ll begin to understand the interaction between people, systems and business performance.
As you learn and support the day-to-day operations, we’ll look to you to show off your creative flair, bringing fresh perspective to existing processes and methodologies.

We’re owned by our members and work for their benefit, not for shareholder profits and that makes us different.Working Hours :Mon-Fri. Shifts TBC.Skills: Administrative skills....Read more...
