Employer Description:

The history of our client is a rich and varied one. The estate has been in the ownership of the de Capell Brooke family in some form since the late 1400s.  The family have several arable farm and dairy farm interests covering nearly 2,000 hectares, also a large property portfolio and are actively involved in a number of development opportunities supporting the growth of Corby.

They are creating a new finance apprenticeship role for someone who would like to gain practical experience within a multi-faceted private estate office and wants to develop their own career within a business that will expand and diversify further over the coming years.  As the estate office is small the apprentice role will be considered equally important in supporting the de Capell Brooke family and estate.  As part of your role, you will undertake learning and development to progress with the AAT qualification and eventually leading to studies in gaining an accountancy qualification.
