Seasalt began in 1981 with a small shop in Penzance, selling workwear to local mariners and practical overalls to artists. Today, we’ve grown into a thriving omnichannel retailer with over 80 UK and Ireland stores, 400+ wholesale stockists, and a growing international and online footprint.
As a B Corp and winner of both Drapers “Best Place to Work” and CIPD’s “Best Recognition Programme”, we care deeply about our people, our communities and our long-term impact. Our Head Office teams provide the foundations that empower our people to drive sustainable growth across the UK and international markets.
As a Finance Apprentice, you’ll gain exposure to a wide range of finance activities, helping to ensure reporting is completed accurately and on time to support the continued success and growth of the business. You’ll rotate across different areas of the finance function, giving you the opportunity to build a strong foundation of knowledge while learning from experienced colleagues.
From processing invoices and reconciling transactions, to supporting budgeting and reporting, you’ll develop practical skills and an understanding of how finance supports decision-making across the organisation.
Whether you’re finishing college and wondering what could be next for you, or you’re looking for an alternative to university, our apprenticeships provide a structured, supportive pathway into the world of work, with the opportunity to progress into a permanent role as you grow your career with us.
