Change and Project Management Graduate Scheme

Job description

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

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. This will provide you with valuable insights into how we manage change and offer a diverse experience across all teams. It will also help guide your decisions on the direction you’d like your career to take.

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.
