Finance Procurement Apprentice, Royal Ballet and Opera

Are you passionate about the arts? Are you keen to understand how finance and procurement works within a creative environment?

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. We are one of the busiest theatres in the world, staging more than 400 performances each year.

We want to give everyone the opportunity to get involved in this creative, exciting and growing industry and we think apprenticeships are great way to get started!

An apprenticeship gives you the practical skills and knowledge that will underpin your professional development and give you access to a network of people who can guide and support you during your career.

What our apprentices say:

"It has taught me invaluable on-the-job experience that textbook learning cannot provide."

"It is a great pathway into a career and a unique alternative to university"

This year we will offer a Procurement Apprenticeship on a fixed-term contract for 2 years, full-time (40 hours per week) with college study alongside. This will include study towards the Level 4 Procurement Apprenticeship which will be delivered by Apprentice Team Ltd.

Will I be paid?
Yes! You will earn National Living Wage which will increase by 2.5% after successfully completing the first year. Apprentices are expected to use this to pay for their own travel to work and college. College fees will also be paid by the Royal Opera House.
