We offer investment solutions and services and retirement expertise to more than 2.4 million customers globally. As a privately held, purpose-driven company with a 50-year heritage, we think generationally and invest for the long term. By combining our asset management expertise with our solutions for workplace and personal investing, we work together to build better financial futures.

Our people are passionate, engaged, smart and curious, and we give them the independence and the confidence to make a difference. While we take pride in the excellence of our investment solutions and client service, we know we can always do better. We are honest, respectful and make tough calls, challenging the status quo to achieve better outcomes through innovation. Above all else, we always put our clients first.

We know that having a diverse range of employees and an inclusive environment where people can be themselves leads to better business and Fidelity is about creating a culture where people’s differences are welcomed, encouraged and celebrated.

What you’ll be doing:

We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do. Whatever you’ve studied, we’ll help make sure you get the most out of your time with us.

The TechHub is a passionate team providing day to day technology support, consultation and training services to internal employees. The individual teams respond to faults (from minor individual issues to high severity incidents) raised by employees via the TechHub Service Desk, undertake all new installations and moves of IT equipment and resource a wide range of tasks as part of infrastructure projects.

The team also provide an important interface into the user base and other Technology teams, providing support services around the following technologies – building and supporting laptops, desktops, mobile and desk phones, VPN and Citrix to support remote working, basic network and patching in buildings, O365 services and many other applications in use by the business.

Support is provided face to face via open technology “hubs” where the TechHub team welcome users to drop in and seek assistance, via desk visits or over the phone.

This role is part of a support team that provides support to Fidelity employees. You will have the responsibility of learning the TechHub policies and operating procedures as they assist the TechHub engineers in daily activities. The role involves exposure to a wide range of technologies, learning how these interact together and the processes for their delivery. Although the role is a technical role, it will also include a communication aspect related to end‑user communication and engagement. This is a customer facing role that provides technical support and training to employees.

What we look for:

We’re looking for people that are interested in both the industry and the sector but ultimately those that are looking for a career which will reward them in both job satisfaction and development. During your apprenticeship, you will gain important insights and skills which will prepare you well for your future career, as well as learning from some of the best in the industry.

Training and Development

Over your two‑year apprenticeship programme, where you’ll not only learn how our TechHub teams contribute to making our organisation work seamlessly, but also build your knowledge of the wider business.

You’ll start your apprenticeship with a mini‑induction, during which we’ll introduce you to investment management and how it fits into the City. After that, there are many more ways to develop your skills as your apprenticeship progresses.

At every stage, your development will be underpinned by the best apprenticeship training and professional certified courses.

Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of apprentices. You will be highly valued here, so your development is heavily invested in from day one.

Social and networking events will help you get to know our people and culture. All the while you’ll be learning on the job, working to clear goals and understanding your own potential

During your time with us you’ll get to learn even more about what you enjoy, what you’re great at, and how to develop the career path that’s perfect for you. Our apprenticeship programmes may even lead to full‑time opportunities, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Our application window closes on Sunday, 29 March 2026 at 23:55 GMT.

Please note that there are 3 online assessments which you’ll need to complete by the time the window closes. They take around 40 minutes to complete, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time.

All assessment centres are expected to take place March and April 2026. However, we process applications on a rolling basis, and therefore an early application is advised.

As part of our commitment to inclusion, we are a disability‑friendly company. As such, we will welcome a conversation with you if you feel you might benefit from any adjustments to perform to the best of your ability during the recruitment process and beyond.

For any enquiries regarding your application, you can contact us at [e-mail]. Please note this mailbox is not monitored on weekends or public holidays.
