Over the three-year scheme, you’ll complete rotations across our Data and Digital teams. You’ll build knowledge across different areas of the business.

We’ll support your career development throughout the scheme with a structured plan, performance reviews twice a year, and the potential for competitive salary increases and progression.

Application Process

If your application is shortlisted, there are three stages:

1. Online assessment – to help us understand how you learn and solve problems.


2. Video interview – a short interview to learn more about you.


3. Assessment centre – an in-person day where you’ll take part in activities such as a group exercise, a role-specific task and a skills-based interview.

The assessment centre will be held on 27th November at our Head Office in Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire.

You’ll be supported by experienced colleagues, a dedicated buddy and a mentor who will help you maximise your development and career opportunities.

As you come towards the end of the scheme, a careers coach will help you think about your next role and plan 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.

What we're looking for

Qualifications and skills

You'll need to have achieved, or be on track to achieve, for at least a 2:2 degree. Whilst a degree in a numerate or analytical subject may be beneficial, we welcome applications from candidates from a wide range of academic backgrounds who can demonstrate strong analytical thinking, curiosity and a passion for digital innovation.

We're particularly interested in graduates who are excited by the opportunities data and technology create, and who enjoy solving problems, understanding customer behaviour and turning insight into action.

To help you succeed on the scheme, you’ll bring:

• Analytical thinking and problem solving - able to interpret information, identify patterns and draw meaningful conclusions.


• Numerical confidence - comfortable working with data and presenting information clearly.


• Communication and storytelling - able to explain complex findings in a simple, engaging way.


• Stakeholder engagement - confident building relationships and working with different audiences.


• Digital curiosity - interested in digital products, customer journeys and online experiences.


• Digital literacy - experience with Power BI or similar data visualisation tools would be advantageous.


• Teamwork and collaboration - enjoy working with others to solve problems and achieve shared goals.


• Initiative and willingness to learn - motivated to develop new technical and professional skills.

If you can bring these qualities, we'll help you develop the rest.

Work experience

Industry experience or a placement year would be a real advantage, but it isn’t essential. What matters most is that you’ve had some experience of work where you’ve been able to interact with people, build your communication skills and learn how to work well with others.

At NFU Mutual, we support an inclusive workplace and value all the differences that make us unique. We celebrate the creativity and innovation that comes from diverse perspectives and experiences and share a common vision of doing the right thing for our customers and employees.
