What you'll be doing

The Business Analysis team provides the analysis support and services in a project environment required to enable our customers to meet their strategic aims and objectives.

As a business analyst, no project or programme is the same and no working day is the same, so if you like variety within a safe environment (e.g. industry standards, guidelines and best practice) and you love to ask questions to delve deeper and understand why something does (or doesn’t) work – then a career in business analysis is for you. During the 18 month programme, you will also complete a Level 4 Business Analyst qualification.

During your apprenticeship you will:

• Support business analysts during the requirements elicitation process on both business and IT focused change projects by preparing for, attending and participating in workshops/meetings
• Investigate, explore and document current “as is” business processes and procedures, so we can identify how the business works today and what will need to change or be impacted by change
• Contribute to analysis planning and monitoring activities including defining roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and requirement approaches to ensure governance and quality is maintained
• Identify, evaluate and raise change issues, risks, assumptions and dependencies so we can understand how project deliverables may be impacted
• Develop and enhance personal skills such as confidence, assertiveness, focus, adaptability, curiosity
• Propose solutions and make recommendations to stakeholders to shape any decisions that need to be made, requirements that need to be amended or processes that need to be improved
• Develop professional skills such as stakeholder analysis and management, requirements engineering, continuous improvement, investigation techniques, business process modelling
• Commit to undertaking self-led and tutor-led training and support sessions with the Apprenticeship provider and embedding that knowledge and those skills into your role
• Develop methodical skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, time management as well as your collaboration and listening skills
• Have the opportunity to meet and network with new colleagues within your team, but also across the wider organisation

After you’ve completed your Level 4 Business Analyst apprenticeship, you’ll continue to have access to ongoing professional development and support with progression opportunities within the Business Analysis team.
