What you can expect

At Aviva, you’ll find a workplace that prioritises people — you, your colleagues, and our customers. We provide the support you need to excel and become the best version of yourself.

Our Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeships, equivalent to a foundation degree, typically take eighteen to twenty-four months to complete. You’ll spend 80% of your time learning on the job, gaining real-life experience and 20% dedicated to working towards your Apprenticeship studies. After completion, we’ll assist you in planning your next steps, whether that involves pursuing further qualifications, certifications, or specific technical development relevant to your role.

You’ll earn a salary while gaining invaluable skills and working towards professional qualifications. No matter where you are in your career, this is an excellent opportunity to build a fantastic future.

You’ll be empowered to be yourself, to own your work and your development — but don’t worry. We won’t expect you to be an expert from day one, or even month one. You’ll have a supportive team around you who’ll be there to help you develop, every step of the way.

And that’s not all. You’ll also benefit from our two year central development programme, giving you everything you need to be an all-round professional.

Where you’ll be based

We have Data Apprentice opportunities in our Norwich office.

Wherever you’re based, the likelihood is you’ll balance time in the office with working from home. We call this Smart Working. Typically, it’s three days in the office and two days from home but this can vary between teams. When you join us, your leader will 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 that you’ll still need to live within commuting distance of the relevant office. That way you’ll get to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, and have access to the right internal support networks to help you to succeed.

What you’ll need

To join us on this apprenticeship, you’ll need (or be on track to achieve) at least three A-Levels or Scottish Highers at grades B–C or above. Or have an equivalent Level 3 qualification.

You will also need at least five GCSEs or Scottish National 5s at grades A*-C (9-4) or have equivalent qualifications. These must include English and Maths.

Alongside that, we’re looking for people who are passionate about data and technology, confident communicators, possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and are driven to make positive changes.

In addition to meeting the above criteria, you must:

  • have lived in the UK or European Economic Area (EEA) for at least 3 years by the start of the apprenticeship in September 2025.
  • be eligible to work full-time in the UK for the entire duration of the apprenticeship.

If we can help to make the process smoother for you with any additional support or reasonable adjustments, please just let us know by emailing avivaearlycareers@aviva.com.

 

Step 1 – Apply online

For the initial online application, we’ll ask you to attach a copy of your CV and answer a short questionnaire about why you’re interested in this programme. We want to hear about what you enjoy doing, what you’re good at, and how you connect with our values.

Step 2 – Online tests

If you’re shortlisted, the next stage is online testing. For all pathways, this includes a Situational Strengths test – featuring tasks and scenarios that show us how you like to work, your thought processes and your personal thoughts along with a Numerical Reasoning test.

Step 3 – Video interview

If you pass the online tests, you’ll be sent a link to complete a recorded video interview. You’ll be given a series of strengths-based questions – with a practice question first – and our online system will guide you through the process step by step. During the interview, you’ll have the chance to tell us what’s made you want to start your career with Aviva.

Step 4 – Assessment day

If you do well, you’ll be invited to an assessment day. It’s your opportunity to get insights into what it’s like to work at Aviva and to meet some of the people who work here. Impress us there and you’ll be offered the role to start in September 2025.
