At Nationwide, we put our members at the heart of everything we do and every role, no matter what it’s doing, has a part to play in this.

The Secured Credit Risk team is responsible for managing the asset quality of the Society’s mortgage portfolios, including defining and maintaining lending policy, undertaking quality assurance, and ensuring robust governance across our lending operations.

The Policy & QA team plays a critical role in maintaining high standards of lending by ensuring policy is applied consistently, risks are identified early, and improvements are continuously fed back into our policy framework.

We now have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Risk Analyst Lead, supporting the delivery of high-quality QA insight and policy development activity across our retail lending portfolios (secured and unsecured).

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
