Good communication skills
We create solutions for our wide range of clients and their evolving needs. To do so, it is crucial that our colleagues possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
Apprenticeships
If you don't want to choose between continuing your studies and starting your career, apprenticeships can offer the best of both worlds.
A Rothschild & Co apprenticeship will see you working with a professional training provider towards a recognised qualification, which will be dependent on the exact Apprenticeship you choose.
You will also be learning every day on the job while gaining valuable work experience.
Purpose
Apprenticeships are an ever-evolving alternative to university or an entrance into a new field after your degree. It gives you an opportunity to learn whilst you earn and make a contribution to the company. They are a great way to make a difference in a fast-paced work environment that challenges you, through joining global teams who are committed to your success.
Training and development
As well as the on-the-job training you will receive, we'll give you protected time off to study for a professional qualification – including ahead of any exams you'll have to take.

Executional excellence

Being comfortable with numbers

Prepare prepare prepare
A successful job interview takes preparation. Make sure you've taken the time to find out about our main business areas, core values, recent news and what makes us different from other financial institutions. Be ready to explain why Rothschild & Co appeals to you and why you think you'd be a good addition. Good luck!
