Is our Sustainable Financial Wellbeing Graduate Scheme for you?
Working in our Insurance, Pensions, and Investments division you’ll be working to ease some of society’s biggest challenges: an ageing population, low financial confidence, wealth transfer, and climate change.
If you're curious about business, finance, and data, and looking for a role that helps people secure themselves a better future, this is the scheme for you. You’ll need to be a quick thinker with an open mind, and have the resilience to get stuck in to some big challenges. Humility and teamwork are key, so if you love collaborating, appreciating different viewpoints, and building strong relationships, you’ll fit right in.
Make a real impact and enjoy a rewarding career journey with us in a supportive and inclusive culture.
