Alongside on-the-job learning, you'll take part in our Future Ready Core development programme. This combines development sessions, networking opportunities, self-guided learning, reflective workbooks, customer immersion experiences and access to a wider early careers community.

The programme develops future professionals who can help shape and deliver improvements across Nationwide. Through a series of placements, you'll build expertise in product thinking, business analysis, customer journey mapping, project delivery, process improvement and change management.

No two days are the same. Activities could include attending team meetings, collaborating with stakeholders, contributing to change initiatives, reviewing customer and business insights, supporting process improvement activity and helping track delivery of work. Working with colleagues across the organisation will help you build a strong understanding of how change is delivered and how different teams work together to achieve shared goals.

Exposure to collaboration tools, project and change management tools, data platforms and product development systems will help build practical skills alongside broader business knowledge.

Along the way, you'll develop highly transferable skills in communication, stakeholder management, problem solving, influencing, critical thinking, adaptability and resilience. These experiences will help prepare you for future opportunities which would include Product Manager, Business Analyst, Change Analyst, Delivery Manager or Process Improvement Specialist.

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
