Job Description

At NFU Mutual, our roots are firmly in farming, and we're proud to stay true to those origins. But we're also a business that's growing fast in other areas - particularly commercial and high net worth - and that's where our Sales team plays such an important role. Joining this team means you'll not only gain valuable commercial expertise but also play a direct part in shaping our future growth.
We offer two types of graduate scheme within Sales: one based at our Head Office in Stratford-upon-Avon, and another within our regional teams across the UK. The regional teams work directly with our distribution network, building relationships and delivering on the ground, while our Head Office team takes a broader view, shaping overall strategies and direction.
Both schemes will give you the chance to work closely with our Agency Network - local branches that are central to our growth. By supporting them, you'll help deliver even more for our customers and communities, ensuring we continue to succeed through personal, trusted connections.
This role falls under Insurance Distribution Directive requirements, and as a result, role holders will be required to demonstrate ongoing Continuous Professional Development in role, along with undergoing regular re-screening to show that they are of "Good Repute". Further information can be found in the FCA Handbook.

What we're looking for
To join this scheme, you'll have obtained, or be working towards, a minimum degree classification of 2:1. 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.
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.
We recognise that some candidates may experience barriers during the recruitment process. So, we encourage candidates to discuss any adjustments or accommodations they need to be the best they can be throughout our recruitment process.
We're proud to be a Disability Confident Employer, a Race at Work and Women in Finance Charter signatory and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, regardless of age, ethnicity, disability, neurodiversity, gender, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background.
