Regional schemes based across:South EastEastSouth WestNorth West & WalesNorth EastScotlandEntry criteria: minimum degree classification of 2:2, any degree subject. Full UK driving licence required for the regional scheme.A career in insurance is full of surprises - it offers far more than you might think! It's a fast-paced industry where you'll sharpen your commercial skills while playing a key role in the day-to-day operations of a business. At NFU Mutual, our Sales team is at the core of what we do, helping us grow and build strong relationships with customers.
We offer two types of graduate scheme within sales: one based at our head office in Stratford-upon-Avon, and another as part of our regional teams across the UK. So, what's the difference? The regional team focuses on working directly with customers and delivering on the ground, while the head office team takes a broader approach, supporting overall strategies and direction.
What You Can ExpectRegional Sales SchemeDuring your first three months, you'll dive into internal training to learn all about our products and how to meet customer needs. In year one, you'll be actively selling personal insurance to our customers and working on regional projects, like marketing campaigns. By the second year, you'll begin working towards your commercial insurance licence, handling more complex business and tackling strategic projects.
South East SchemeIn the South East the scheme focuses more on corporate leadership and strategy. You'll be involved in growth and marketing initiatives, and you'll get the chance to complete your product licensing too if it suits. You'll work closely with our larger commercial and high-net-worth agencies and will even have the opportunity for a placement at our agency in Cobham.
Head Office SchemeYear one involves working with Regional Sales across all insurance products to build your understanding. In year two, you'll help shape the future of our Agency Network, driving strategic growth and innovation through key initiatives. You'll review and report on national performance of the network and will gain exposure to wider teams, such as National Intermediary Services.
For all regional schemes, expect to travel to agencies on average 3-4 days a week, with the rest of your time spent working from home. If you're on the South East scheme, one of those days will be spent in London. Your FutureThese schemes can open doors to a wide range of roles across the business, and we'll work with you to explore your options and help you to identify the path that's right for you. Throughout the scheme, you'll strengthen your core insurance skills, earn CII qualifications, and develop essential competencies to set you up for a successful career. You'll be fully supported along the way, with a dedicated buddy and mentor, plus a strong network of current and former graduates. As you near the end of the scheme, a careers coach will be there to guide you in planning your next steps.
It's not all about work either. We encourage our graduates to get involved in extracurricular activities, from volunteering and organising charity or social events to representing NFU Mutual at industry events, all in line with our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework.
Application ProcessIf your application is shortlisted, you'll be invited to complete an online assessment designed to measure your potential for success, such as your ability to learn and solve problems. The following stage is a short video interview, and the final stage will be an in-person assessment centre, where you'll participate in a variety of activities, including a group exercise, a role-specific exercise, and a skills-based interview.
This vacancy may close early depending on application volumes, so we recommend getting your application in as soon as possible! What We're Looking ForQualifications and SkillsTo join this scheme, you'll have obtained, or be working towards, a minimum degree classification of 2:2.
