What else do I need to know?
You should be able to start work from mid-September 2023 in the location that you’ve applied for. Please only apply for one location.
Exact dates are still to be confirmed, but if you’re selected for an interview then you’ll need to be available for an interview and assessment centre on following dates:
London – 19 June Alderley Park – 20 June Edinburgh – 28 June
Your application should include a short cover letter that makes clear why you’re well suited to the role at Royal London.
At Royal London we believe your difference is our strength and our organisation benefits from the different perspectives that diversity brings. Studies have shown that people from under-represented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet every requirement. So, if you’re excited about this role but your past experience isn't a perfect fit with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway as you may be the right candidate for this or other opportunities.
Our expectation is that colleagues will come into the office for 50% of their time. This hybrid model is built around our mutual mindset, thinking about what is good for us as individuals (the ‘me’) and in the context of what is right for our customers, our colleagues and the wider Royal London Group (the ‘we’). To give you the support and development needed, you may need to spend much more time in the office.
