Rathbones: does its graduate academy sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Rathbones publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate academy, so we cannot state a firm answer. The wealth manager runs a two year Graduate Academy across five offices: London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Bristol. The structure is unusually broad for a two year scheme, with up to eight placements across different teams alongside professional qualifications and project work, a dedicated mentor, a buddy and study leave for exams. Rathbones is also open to applicants beyond the usual new graduate profile, saying the Academy is for recent graduates as well as those with more experience. The conversion figure it publishes is the strongest argument for the scheme: almost 90 per cent of its graduates have secured permanent roles at Rathbones. Graduates have gone on to investment management, compliance, research, financial planning, cybersecurity, data management and business transformation. No salary is published and there is no statement on sponsorship.
