Our Early Careers application process for all our programmes is the same (Graduates, Apprenticeships, Internships, Year Placements).
Application opening dates vary per programme and are published on their relevant pages. Whilst we do have deadlines in place, please be advised that we review applications on a rolling basis which means that we may close vacancies earlier if we receive sufficient applications to fill the vacancy. Early applications are therefore strongly advised.
All of our roles are offered in specific areas of our business and so we recommend that you review the job description carefully before applying. Please pay particular notice to any specific requirements (eg subjects studied) and please ensure you are available to attend the Assessment Centre date for the role you are applying for. We are unable to offer alternative dates.
What to expect
St. James’s Place believes that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are genuinely revolutionising the way financial advisers operate and engage with clients. These tools are the engines behind predictive models that deliver personalised advice, making sense of vast data sets to anticipate client needs with unprecedented accuracy.
As an organisation, we accept that candidates are using AI tools such as ChatGPT during our application process. However, we strongly advise that application submissions reflect candidates own authentic voices and experiences. AI can help structure ideas, organise thoughts and refine language, but it should not be used to generate entire responses, as this, in our experience, affects the sincerity and individuality of applications. All our applications and video interviews are manually and individually reviewed by our recruiters, so it's essential to present yourself genuinely and if using AI to do so responsibly as we would expect you to do so in the workplace: to compliment, not replace, your unique perspective.
