Degree Apprentice - Consulting Analyst

Location: Bristol

Start Date: September 2026

Build a Career in Consulting from Day One

This programme is for motivated individuals who want to combine university study with real-world responsibility in a consulting environment.

You will join us as a Degree Apprentice, earning a competitive salary while we fully fund your tuition fees for a recognised university degree.

From your first year, you won't just be watching; you will contribute to live client projects, developing the analytical and professional skills needed for a long-term career. Over three to four years, you will grow into a fully capable Consultant, supported by a clear development framework and protected study time (one full day per week).

Who We Are

We help ambitious organisations solve complex problems and achieve meaningful results. Our work focuses on practical improvements that create measurable impact. We work closely with clients to understand their challenges, bring clarity to complexity, and deliver solutions that are sustainable and grounded in real world needs.

We value clear thinking, integrity, and collaboration. We take pride in doing what we say we will do and building trusted relationships with our clients and our teams.

What You Will Do

As a Degree Apprentice, you will:

• Support research: Gather and analyse data for client projects.
• Create Impact: Help turn insights into clear reports and presentations.
• Collaborate: Participate in workshops and team problem solving sessions.
• Apply Learning: Use your university theory directly in your daily consulting work.
• Communicate: Learn to present complex ideas simply and confidently.

You will not be observing from the sidelines. You will be contributing to meaningful work from early on.

Alongside this, you will spend dedicated time each week studying towards your degree, applying your learning directly to the work you are doing.

What You Will Bring

We are looking for potential and motivation rather than polished professional experience.

You may demonstrate:

• Curiosity: An interest in how businesses operate and solve problems.
• Team Spirit: A desire to work with others to achieve a common goal.
• Responsibility: The ability to manage your time between work and study.
• Communication: A focus on clear, honest written and verbal interaction.
• Tech Interest: An interest in how digital tools can support better decisions.

What You Will Gain

• A fully funded university degree (Level 6 BSc) with no student debt.
• A competitive salary from day one with annual increases.
• Protected study time as part of your working week (20% off the job training).
• A dedicated line manager, mentor, and peer buddy to support your growth.
• Structured development milestones each year to track your progression.
• A clear pathway into a permanent consulting role on completion.

By the end of the programme, you will have several years of professional experience, a recognised qualification, and the confidence to take on significant responsibility.

Our Benefits

As a Degree Apprentice, you are a permanent employee, not a placement or intern. This means you receive the same core benefits as our wider team, alongside additional support for learning:

• Fully funded university degree (Level 6 BSc) with no student debt.
• Competitive salary from day one.
• 30 days annual leave, plus public holidays.
• Private healthcare, giving you access to medical support when you need it.
• Workplace pension scheme - as an employee, you'll have access to our workplace pension. This means: If you meet the age and earnings criteria, you'll be automatically enrolled. If you are under 22, you can choose to opt in, and we'll contribute in line with the scheme rule. A pension helps you save for later in life, and joining is always your choice.
• Protected study time - at least 20% of your working week dedicated to learning.
• Structured support - a line manager, mentor, and peer buddy throughout the programme.

Eligibility

To apply, you will need:

• Three A Levels or equivalent qualifications.
• GCSE English and Maths at Grade 4 or above.
• The right to work in the UK.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds and disciplines. Achievement can take many forms, and we are interested in your potential as much as your results.

Choosing between university and an apprenticeship is an important decision. This programme combines the academic rigour of a university degree with meaningful professional experience and financial independence from day one. We are happy to speak with parents or guardians who would like to understand more about how the programme is structured and supported.

Application Process

Stage 1: Online application with short written responses about your interests and motivation.

Stage 2: Video interview.

Stage 3: Assessment day including a group task and a short business scenario and final interview.

We assess potential, curiosity, collaboration, and clarity of thinking.

Commitment to Inclusion

We are committed to building a team with varied experiences and perspectives. We encourage applications from students who may not traditionally consider consulting as a career path.

If you require adjustments at any stage of the process, please let us know.
