Don’t just take our word for it, let’s hear from one of our 2025 apprentices: Charlie Brawn, Apprentice Account Handler, London “I came into the apprenticeship around 3 months after I finished my A-levels. I have always preferred hands-on learning, so I knew that starting a career in financial services, which is an industry I had always wanted to work in, made the most sense. An apprenticeship was the perfect way to start working whilst also learning about the industry and gaining qualifications in insurance. From day one of the apprenticeship, I was already learning a lot about insurance. The apprenticeship program started with a 6 week induction, which taught me so much about the insurance industry and was the perfect introduction as someone who had no experience in insurance at all. During the 6 week induction I also met the other apprentices who started at the same time, and it was great to have others in the same position as me who were just starting in the industry. The support I received throughout the program is one of the best parts. The Learning and Development team were always approachable (and still are) and would help with anything. When I transitioned into my role, the support continued, with all my colleagues being very supportive and approachable for any questions I may have. I have no regrets in my choice of starting an apprenticeship at Everywhen. It’s given me the chance to start my career early and gain a lot of knowledge, and I have enjoyed every moment since I started.” Role Overview The Apprentice Account Handler will support the management of client portfolios and contribute to the delivery of high‑quality customer service.
