Graduate opportunities
Bupa is the UK market leader in health and
care with a strong international presence and
unparalleled medical credentials. We have
over 8 million customers in 190 countries and
38,000 employees. Our main interests are
health insurance, care homes for older people
and young disabled, health assessments,
workplace health, travel insurance and childcare
services. Bupa Australia, Copenhagen,
Miami and Sanitas in Spain are all part of the
Bupa Group which also has centres in Hong-
Kong, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Bupa has
no share capital. As a result, it can focus on
its customers, helping them to live longer,
healthier lives and can reinvest all of its
profits to do this this is the dividend that
Bupa provides.
Our impressive track record of expansion is
planned to continue and we need high calibre
individuals to help us realise our potential.
Bupa's brand promise is to treat and care for
you as an individual and you can be assured
that we extend this philosophy right through
to how we treat our employees. Bupa's
corporate social responsibility (CSR)
programme supports our business objectives
and focuses on providing help and support
to the local communities in which our
employees live and work.
Because we select a small number of
graduates, we can ensure that you will
become part of a close-knit group which
enables us to focus on giving you the support
you need from the outset. This will come from
a team of people your own mentor (typically
a previous graduate), your line manager and
the graduate programme manager all of
whom will work with you to help develop
your career.
The work you undertake will be important to
our business and our customers no shadowing
roles with phantom responsibilities and you
will have a choice in which placements you
take. We will give you the opportunity to
experience the realities of business life at
Bupa from the start, in specialist functions
and operational management. You can expect
to work hard and in return you will benefit
from enhancing your skills and experience
and developing your career.
During the graduate programme, there will
be many opportunities for both personal and
skill development. You will work with your
programme manager to design your own
training programme to ensure you are
equipped with the necessary skills and
business knowledge to develop and succeed.
Finance graduates will be fully sponsored
towards CIMA or ACCA qualification. The
work you do on the programme will support
the hands-on experience required to complete
the modules.
High performance is required and enabled
during the programme, the rewards being
both tangible and intangible. One of the more
intangible benefits of the programme is the
fun you will have with others on the
programme and those you will meet during
the course of it. We recognise the value of
integrating with other employees while on
placement and bringing you as close as
possible to our reason for being the
customer'. Sometimes the greatest reward
will be seeing the difference you can make to
the lives in your hands. Please visit our
