Change and Project Management Graduate Scheme
Ready to make an impact? Join our Group Change Graduate Scheme at NFU Mutual! We see change as a team game; guided by values that put the portfolio first and champion collaboration, we work as one team across the business to deliver outcomes aligned to our Strategy.
Our investment in change continues to grow year-on-year, ensuring a vibrant portfolio of projects for you to dive into. Here you’ll gain exposure to our team in tackling large-scale, complex, and strategic change programmes whilst being provided with the opportunity to create a real impact. It’s not just about delivering change; it’s about doing the right thing for our customers every step of the way!
What you can expect: a dynamic environment filled with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. Throughout the scheme, you’ll spend 4-6 month rotations across various teams in our 4 services: Portfolio Management, Portfolio Delivery, Change Management & Assurance.
You’ll learn about all aspects of change, from designing a strategically prioritised Portfolio of Projects and Programmes, to delivery, governance, reporting and embedding change in the business. You’ll own specific pieces of delivery, handling everything from scope and planning to stakeholder communication and problem-solving.
With a focus on hands-on experience, you’ll be supported to undertake the industry recognised Project Management Qualification with the Association for Project Management (APM). Through delivering change across the business, you'll make connections in different departments to help further your experience and knowledge of NFU Mutual.
Your future: throughout the scheme, you’ll strengthen your core project management, change management & portfolio management skills, earning a recognised project management qualification, and developing essential competencies to set you up for a successful career.
Application Process: if your application is shortlisted, you’ll be invited to complete an online assessment designed to measure your potential for success. Should you be successful, you’ll move on to a short video interview. The final stage will be an in-person assessment centre, where you’ll participate in a variety of activities, including a group exercise, a role-specific exercise, and a skills-based interview.
Please note this vacancy may close at any time once sufficient applications have been received. Early submission of your application is therefore encouraged.
