Early careers (with prep module)

Ready to ignite your future?


A bit about us

We’re one of the UK’s leading insurance companies. We’re here to support people when it matters most – through every stage of life. Whether it’s protecting their car, home, health or life, or helping them save for their future and retirement, we focus on what truly matters to our over 25 million customers in the UK, Ireland, and Canada.

But we’re more than just an insurance company. We care deeply about our people, our customers, our communities, and the planet. That’s why we’re committed to helping our customers solve life’s financial puzzles – big and small. We’re with them in the moment, and we’re thinking about what they need for tomorrow too.

Our values – commitment, care, community, and confidence – bring to life what it means to work here.

You’ll be joining a culture where you’re trusted to think for yourself. Where you can feel comfortable speaking up, think creatively to solve problems and make real change. And where everyone works to bring out the best in each other so we can help build a more positive future for our customers and communities.

Whether you’re a graduate or future apprentice, looking to start your career in a role with real responsibilities, or you’re still studying and want some real-life experience through an internship or placement – our wide-ranging Early Careers opportunities give you every chance to shine.

Graduates

We get it – everyone’s different with their own passions and interests. That’s why we don’t just have one graduate route. Instead, we’ve created eight unique “pathways” specific to your (and our) strengths and motivations.

You might choose a pathway that ties in with what you’re studying, but honestly, you don’t have to. Maybe your interests have changed since you started your course, or you’ve discovered an area of our business that clicks with your future plans and strengths.

Sparked your curiosity? Take a look at our pathways and how you could start your career journey with us.

Apprenticeships

Our apprentices come from all walks of life. Whether you’re leaving school, changing careers or returning to work after a career break, there’s a place for you here.

Some of our apprentices join straight from school or college, while others are looking for a fresh start or a new challenge. Whatever your story, we’ll support you every step of the way. You’ll get hands on experience, on-the job learning and structured learning and gain valuable qualifications, all while earning a salary. So, wherever you are in your working life, this is a great way to build a brilliant career.

From Technology and Underwriting to exciting new opportunities bespoke to us, our apprenticeships last between 12 months and four years. Depending on the pathway, you could gain anything from a level 3 to a level 6 qualification.

So, whether you’re starting out or reigniting your career, why not explore what we can offer you?

Placements and internships

Want to switch on your future before you’ve completed your studies? Whether you’re exploring your options or already have a dream job in mind, our placement year opportunities or internships are a brilliant way to get some real life working world experience, make great connections and discover what you love to do.

Technology work experience

It’s never too early to start thinking about your future. And if you’re thinking a career in tech could be the way to go, our work experience programme will help you find out more.

Join us for a week of inspiring, informative, exciting experiences that will give you a real taste of what it’s like to work in tech. You’ll get to see the many different opportunities we can offer you.

Applications for the tech work experience programme are now closed.
