How the Aviva Group Returner Programme is helping people restart their careers - SIGN UP TODAY!

 

 

If you’re ready to return to work in after a career break and you’re actively looking for your next challenge, then the Aviva Group Returner Programme could be the answer. After successfully running a returner programme within the Aviva Investors business for three years, and having launched an Aviva Tech Programme in 2022, Aviva Group is now thrilled to offer a similar programme across a number of its UK teams: Finance, General Insurance, Health, Wealth and Change Management.

The Aviva Group Returner Programme is for those who’ve had an extended career break of two or more years. This is a tailored six-month programme, with potential to transition to a permanent role, for those who are keen to restart their career.

The opportunities in Aviva Group

Aviva is looking for people from a range of backgrounds, with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Finance – financial reporting, actuarial, accountancy, audit and risk
• General Insurance – claims, underwriting & pricing, broker relationships, legal.
• Health – distribution, planning, quality assurance, team leader.
• Wealth – investment, fund management, propositions.
• Change Management – project management, business analysis, data analysis.

A returner from the Aviva Investors programme said: “The training we received gave us the tools to re-enter the workplace more confident and empowered. Transitioning back to work is not easy, however this programme gave me the opportunity to share the journey amongst a pool of very smart and talented women, who provided invaluable support throughout the process.”
