Technology & Change Delivery Year In Industry Placements

We see your spark.

Find a placement that exceeds your expectations.

Technology and Change Delivery. See where your strengths can take you.

Tech’s at the heart of everything we do at Aviva. It helps us solve problems, create innovative new solutions, and put our customers first. If you’re curious about what tech can do – and excited by the idea of driving real change for our business and customers – then you’re in the right place.

We’ve got 12-month placements for students in their penultimate year at university.  Whichever placement you choose, you’ll gain valuable experience, build new skills and be supported by our brilliant technology and change community.

And the great thing is, you don’t need to be a tech expert (or even studying it) to make the most of it. We’re looking for curious minds and big picture thinkers – people who understand how powerful technology can be and are eager to make change happen.

Salary: £27,750
Duration: Fixed term contract – 12 months – 30 June 2026 – end June 2027
Locations: Norwich, York (see individual roles)

What you can expect

Our Year in Industry placements will put you at the heart of our technology and change teams, where you’ll gain invaluable on the job experience. As you grow your skills and experience, there’ll be lots of development opportunities which will give you the foundations you need to succeed.

Expect a workplace that’s all about people – you, your colleagues, and our customers. Tech plays a huge role here and you’ll see how it powers change and solves real problems every day, making a meaningful difference.

We want you to shine. We’ll empower you to be yourself, take ownership of your work and shape your development to be the best you can be. You’ll get real-world, hands one experience – the kind you can’t get from textbooks or a classroom. Show us what you can do, and we’ll keep giving you more opportunities to grow, take on responsibility and make your mark.

We’re looking to find and develop the technology and change delivery stars of the future. That’s why our placement programmes feed into our Graduate Programmes. After completing your placement, you might be offered a permanent graduate role starting with us in September 2028 once you’ve successfully finished your course.

Technology Change Delivery

Technology Change is brilliant for people who are naturally curious – big picture thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. If you enjoy organising, whether that’s information or people, and like to influence thinking and the way things are done, this could be a good match for you. But don’t worry if you’re not sure which role suits you best. In fact, we encourage you to keep an open mind. We’ll help you figure it out during the recruitment process, when we assess where your strengths and interests lie.

Where you’ll be based

We have Technology Change Delivery Year in Industry opportunities in our Norwich and York offices. Not all roles are available in every location, so you might need to be flexible about where you work and be willing to relocate if you don’t currently live within commuting distance of the relevant office. You can find out more about each location by clicking the links below.

Wherever you’re based, the likelihood is you’ll balance time in the office with working from home. We call this Smart Working. Three days in the office and two days from home is typical, but this will vary between teams. When you join us, your leader will take time to discuss this with you, and agree what works best for you, your team, and the business.

Even with our Smart Working approach, it’s important to note you’ll still need to live within commuting distance of your contracted office. That way you’ll get to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, and get access to the right internal support networks to help you to succeed.

What you’ll need

To be considered for a 12-month placement with us in any of our Technology Change Delivery roles you’ll:

  • be studying for an undergraduate degree (in any subject)
  • be on a course that supports a placement year
  • be available to work full-time (35 hours per week) from 30 June 2026 to end June 2027

We’re looking for people who are motivated to drive real change and make a positive impact for our colleagues and customers.  You’ll need to be a confident communicator with a love of learning and a commitment to continually developing yourself.  You’ll have an analytical mind and a talent for problem solving as well as an eagerness to question existing ways of doing things.

Most of all, we want people who care about making a difference – who enjoy helping others, are driven to create real change, and excited to learn and grow. If you’re curious about new and emerging tech and keen to explore how it can be used to make life better for our customers and colleagues, you’ll fit well here.

Aviva cannot provide visa sponsorship for this programme. To apply, you’ll need indefinite right to work in the UK. If this applies to you, we’d love to hear from you.
