If you are interested in applying for the secondment position, you must obtain permission from your current line manager prior to applying for this post. 

Are you looking for an alternative to university but with the same long-term prospects? If you are you interested in a career in finance and accountancy then our Apprenticeship Programme may be the next step for you. An apprenticeship is a chance for you to develop your career by working with experienced people, gaining qualifications and being paid at the same time. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to join Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's Finance team as a Finance Apprentice. We will give you training, support and guidance to develop your potential.

The three-year fixed term Apprenticeship Programme offers professional training with the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) from level 2 through to level 4. As a training post, it is dependent upon successful completion of each stage of AAT. This will enable you to work within the Finance Department to gain experience and confidence, build a portfolio of evidence for apprenticeship accreditation, participate in appropriate training opportunities and understand the role.

You will receive development support including performance discussions and feedback on a regular basis to make sure that you learn and develop your financial management skills on the job.

The Apprenticeship will mainly consist of:

• A Technical Certificate (AAT), covering underpinning knowledge.
• Key hard skills, such as literacy and numeracy.
