Insurance Sales Graduate Scheme

Entry 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. Our regional teams focus on working directly with customers and delivering on the ground. This will give you the chance to collaborate with our Agency Network - our local branches, which are vital to our success. They're how we connect with customers throughout the UK and grow through personalised, local engagement. What you can expect Regional Sales Scheme During 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. 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. Your future These 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.

To join this scheme, you'll have obtained, or be working towards, a minimum degree classification of 2:2. You don't need a degree in a particular area - we're interested in your passion for learning, curiosity and your potential. For our Sales schemes, we'll also be looking out for:

• Self-management and initiative, with the confidence to drive things forward and challenge thinking
• Teamwork and collaboration skills
• Effective time management and organisational skills
• Adaptability and resilience
• Problem solving and critical thinking skills
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills If you're able to bring these, we can teach you the rest regardless of what degree you studied. To be eligible for the regional schemes, you must have a full UK driving licence. Work experience If you've gained industry experience or completed a placement year during your degree, that's fantastic! But don't worry if you haven't - it's not a requirement for the scheme. What we do ask for is some previous work experience where you've had the opportunity to interact with people.
