Are you seeking an opportunity where you can study and develop valuable skills alongside a paying career?

Our apprenticeship programme offers the first steps in a new career to become a qualified insurance professional.
We will provide you with a welcoming and inclusive workplace, offering support and development opportunities that will enable you to progress and do your best work. We recognise diversity as our strength, vital for innovation and commercial success, and we aspire to build a truly diverse organisation, which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution.
Your journey will begin in one of our claims handling teams where we will support you with a 3-week training plan that provides you with the basics.
Once you have finished the initial 3-weeks of your training, you will move onto Academy and start handling claims, supported by your Coach and Team Leader.
