Requirements

Our apprenticeships are open to all year 13 students and school leavers who are not planning to complete a full time undergraduate degree.

There’s no mould to fit for our apprenticeship programme. We want you to be you. With all your quirks, interests and ambition.

We do need to see a strong record of academic and extra-curricular achievement. We’re looking for 7 GCSEs at grade 6 or above (including Maths and English) and ABB at A Level. We do look at every form received, and take extenuating circumstances into account for grades that do not meet our requirements. We have also implemented the Rare Recruitment Contextual Recruitment System, to give us additional context to every candidate’s application.

Challengers aren’t only defined by their academic ability. We are also looking for driven and passionate candidates, who are excited to join an ambitious and innovative firm.

Apply

Applications open 6 October 2021 and close 19 February 2022. Throughout the process we'll be looking out for applicants who demonstrate a global outlook, drive and ambition, commercial awareness, collaboration, innovation and enthusiasm.
