Rathbones: does its apprentice academy sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyRathbones Apprentice Academy

Unconfirmed. Rathbones publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprentice academy, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Apprentice Academy runs for two years and rotates apprentices through different parts of the business, which may include Operations, People, Marketing, Investment Management or Financial Planning. Rathbones frames it for young people and adults rather than school leavers only, so there is no published age ceiling. Apprentices are taught technical skills such as client service management and administration alongside professional skills including presentation and networking. The distinguishing feature is that apprentices also join Investment20/20, the cross industry trainee programme, which gives them insight days, training and social events with trainees at other asset and wealth managers rather than only their own cohort. The next intake begins in September 2026. No salary, no location list and no statement on work permits is published.
