We have eight career pathways for graduates to choose from. You might be attracted to a pathway that’s closely linked to your degree course, but that’s not essential. Just because you haven’t studied a finance or a STEM related degree, doesn’t mean you can’t thrive here. In fact, we positively welcome applications from a variety of degree disciplines because we want people with differing insights and experiences.
This programme is less number crunching, more problem solving and strategy developing, as we’ll be preparing you to have a big say in the decisions our business makes going forward.

Whichever apprentice or graduate pathway you choose, during the first two years you’ll complete our central Early Careers Development Programme.
Designed to augment your role-based training and any qualifications you’re working towards, the Early Careers Development Programme will help to immerse you in our culture and develop the skills you need to become a well-rounded professional and a future business leader.
The programme starts with a three-day, face-to-face induction, where you’ll learn about our business, start building your network and prepare for your new role.
From there, you’ll get to take part in quarterly development sessions, both virtual and in-person, designed to develop your personal skills and build your commercial acumen.
At the end of year one, you’ll take part in a Dragon’s Den-style business challenge, collaborating with your cohort and other colleagues from across the organisation.
Throughout your time on the programme, you’ll have a dedicated mentor and buddy you can call on. Not to mention the support of our specialist Early Careers Development Team and the rest of our Early Career community.
Along the way, you can also make use of the learning resources available through the Early Careers Academy – our very own comprehensive, online learning platform.
Bringing you together with the other apprentices and graduates in your cohort, our programme will help you feel a part of the business and prepare for an exciting career ahead.
We offer a great starting salary (see pathway pages for details).
You’ll be joining us in a real role with real responsibilities, giving you a head start on your career and a chance to show us just want you can do – right from the start.
We offer everything from healthy eating initiatives, health checks and exercise classes through to products, policies and support designed to help people stay healthy. And our Smart Working initiative gives our people the chance to work from home.
Expect great leaders, mentors and buddies who’ll help you grow into your role and support you every step of the way. Plus, you’ll be part of our Aviva graduate community.
You will get tonnes of training and development, including role related qualifications as part of a structured development programme.
We’re big on empowerment, so we have a self-led learning culture. As part of that, we provide digital access to all sorts of useful on-demand learning content.
We love to give back to our local communities, so we offer everyone the opportunity to use up to 21 hours of paid work time to volunteer for good causes or to get involved in things like education or outreach programmes.
You’ll get a bonus if you achieve what we’re looking for from an individual and company perspective. Plus, you’ll get up to 40% off a selection of products for yourself and your family through MyAviva Extras.
29 days of holiday, plus bank holidays.
Our Early Career opportunities are based in some of the UK’s most vibrant cities, all of which are great places to live and work. Not all roles are available in every location, but you’ll find the details of which locations we can consider on the relevant pathway page.
So, you may need to be flexible about where you work and, willing to relocate if you don’t live within commuting distance.
Wherever you are, 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.
