We’re the UK’s largest insurance company with over 18 million customers who rely on us to help them handle life’s unexpected events and prepare for the future.
You might think the prospect of working in insurance sounds ‘boring’ and that you’ll have to wear shirts and smart shiny shoes every day. The reality is a world away, just ask any of our graduates. Making life better for all of our customers is exciting and rewarding with different things to do, challenges to face, innovative solutions to find every working day. And we’re all individuals here, proud to be part of a diverse, forward-thinking business that lets people make an impact – no matter how long you’ve been here. And the only people who wear shiny shoes are the people who love wearing shiny shoes – our dress code is pretty relaxed.
We have eleven 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.
