Our intake is across the full Royal London business. This includes Asset Management, Finance and Actuarial, Technology and all other job disciplines. You'll be joining a supportive team of talented, diverse and passionate people who make a real impact on the lives of our customers every day., Our People Promise to our colleagues is that we will all work somewhere inclusive, responsible, enjoyable and fulfilling. This is underpinned by our Spirit of Royal London values; Empowered, Trustworthy, Collaborate, Achieve. Royal London is an equal opportunities employer. We work hard to attract the best talent for our award-winning team. We believe that embracing difference makes us stronger. Our diverse people bring us different skills - whatever their educational background, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief. We will consider flexible working arrangements for all our roles. We also welcome applications from individuals who have taken an extended career break.

  • Generous pension (double matching, up to 14%) and life assurance (up to x8 salary)
  • Confidential (24/7) access to health, legal and financial advice
  • Great office facilities, with hybrid working and support from a dedicated People Leader and Buddy throughout
  • Networking and learning and development opportunities.
  • Opportunity to apply for one of our permanent roles or make plans for our 2026 intake.
  • What will I be doing? The wide range of placements available across all business units and every possible job discipline is simply too long to list here. Tell us a bit about you and your interests in your cover letter and we'll make sure you're matched to the right placement., Exact start date is to be confirmed, however it's likely to be Monday 16 June 2025. You need to be available to start on this date for a period of ten weeks. You can of course take annual leave, but given the relatively short duration, we kindly ask that you organise any break of one week or more, outside of the programme dates. Exact dates are still to be confirmed, but if you're selected, you'll need to make yourself available for an on-site assessment centre. This is likely to be the end of January or start of February. Your application should include a short cover letter that makes clear why you're well suited to the role at Royal London. You should also include detail on your area of interest, for example Asset Management, or Marketing. Given the volume of applications, we ask that you are flexible in consideration of other placements offered.
