Are you ready to create a brighter future together?
At Zurich our brand purpose is exactly that, to create a brighter future together for our customers, our partners, employees and the planet. It’s a promise that for our customers we will put their needs at the heart of everything we do, for our employees lets grow and develop together, for our partners - lets collaborate together to create mutual value and for the planet lets drive positive impact by integrating our sustainability work into how we do business.
Our internships will provide career-building exposure to real jobs and real work and the opportunity to make a real impact. Along the way, you’ll get to know how we do business, what drives our people and their success, and what we put first: our customers and the things they love and want to protect.
Your summer intern programme will give you a taste of what life at Zurich could be like in one of our graduate roles. You’ll also get to see how diversity and inclusion are baked into our business, evolving decision-making, driving innovative solutions and making us quite different from any other organisation.
Successful completion of your summer internship in 2024 could lead to you being offered a place on one of our graduate programmes starting in 2025.
What can I look forward to?
As a business intern, you can expect a real role with real responsibility whilst gaining a strong understanding of our culture, how we look at risk, how we build and price products and how we deliver to our customers when they need us. On top of that, you’ll be working for a company which supports real people in their everyday lives, and more importantly, protecting the things they love.
This is all under pinned by a 10-week structured development programme as well as the chance to work on a UK-wide intern project where you will work with other interns across the business.
And to ensure you have the best start, a dedicated buddy will be on hand to support you throughout your summer with us. Our business internships are a 10-week programme; likely start will be mid-late June.

As well as joining a company that is passionate about sustainability and our customers, you can expect:
- £20,000 pro rata salary
- 4 days holiday for the duration of your internship
- Contribution towards private medical cover
- 12% company pension contribution
You’ll be joining a business where creating a brighter, more sustainable future underpins all that we do. We’re also passionate about diversity and inclusion, which we have won numerous awards for. We want our people to bring the whole of themselves to work and everybody is made to feel welcome, regardless of their background, beliefs or culture.
What you’ll need:
- Be in your penultimate year of undergraduate study and predicted minimum 2:1 degree (or the equivalent)
- At least 96 UCAS points – CCC grades (or equivalent) from 3 A-level subjects excluding general studies
- A* to C grade (9 to 4) in Maths and English GCSE
- The drive, determination and enthusiasm to make intelligent career choices

Our intern programmes are designed for undergraduates who have the drive and enthusiasm to innovate the future of Zurich.
Here, you’ll have every opportunity to use your drive and enthusiasm to innovate the future of Zurich, where different opinions are valued, personal needs are respected, and opportunity is equal for all.
So, make a difference. Be challenged. Be inspired. Be supported. Love what you do. Work for us.
