About the scheme

From our strong farming roots, NFU Mutual has grown into a major UK-wide insurance and financial services organisation. We’re proud of where we came from, and excited about where we’re heading next.

Today, we’re growing in areas such as commercial and high-net-worth insurance. Our Sales team plays a key role in this by building strong relationships with customers, local businesses and communities across the UK.

On this scheme, you’ll build your commercial knowledge, gain practical experience in insurance sales and play a direct part in shaping our future growth.

You’ll join one of our regional teams, working closely with local NFU Mutual branches to help businesses grow, build strong customer relationships and deliver a personal service. You’ll learn how trusted relationships help NFU Mutual succeed.

Along the way, you’ll gain valuable experience, grow your confidence and develop the skills needed for a successful career in insurance sales.

Please note this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship as it does not fulfil the criteria set by the Home Office. This is a three-year programme. Candidates must have, or be able to obtain, permission to work in the UK in a way that enables them to undertake the role and complete the programme. 

What you can expect

Although our graduates are based across the UK, you’ll still be part of one team. You’ll join our national graduate group and meet regularly at our Head Office in Stratford-upon-Avon for shared training and development. This gives you the chance to build strong connections with other graduates. You’ll also work on regional projects and placements linked to your area.

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.

The scheme focuses on corporate leadership, strategy and business growth. Throughout the programme, you'll develop your knowledge of commercial and high-net-worth insurance while working on projects that support growth across your region. Each project is carefully selected to broaden your technical expertise, expand your network across the business and give you the opportunity to take ownership of initiatives that deliver meaningful outcomes.

As part of a busy regional team, you'll be involved in high-profile work and gain first-hand experience of how we build and maintain strong relationships with key business partners.
