Make a real difference and make
your mark
For most people, 2012 may be all about the
Olympics, but at Ecclesiastical we're just as
excited about celebrating our 125th birthday.
We were established in 1887 to protect the
Anglican Church and we're still committed
to doing this today. Over the years we've
grown to provide tailored insurance solutions
for a range of organisations and people who
care – such as charities and heritage property
owners.
We're a specialist insurance and financial
services company offering honest advice,
deep expertise and caring protection. We
have a customer base to be extremely proud
of with heritage sites including Blenheim
Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and the Eden
Project to name just a few.
With UK offices in Gloucester, London,
Birmingham and Manchester, we've got a
base close to each of the country's largest
population centres. We also operate outside
the United Kingdom through our branches in
Canada and Ireland and through subsidiary
companies under the Ansvar brand in
Australia and New Zealand.
Graduate Business Leader scheme
Looking for our future leaders
Demanding, challenging and rewarding
are just some of the few things people may
say about the Graduate Business Leader
Programme.
This scheme is unique for the variety of
challenges and opportunities it has to offer
as well as for its flexibility which allows our
graduates to focus on their key development
areas and make the most of the opportunities
as they come along. Furthermore, it will
give you a chance to become an expert in our
specialist sectors and to work on some very
special and famous risks we insure, such as
St Paul's Cathedral.
Knowledge of all the core areas of the
business together with real leadership and
project management experience will provide
you with the perfect foundation to kick start
your career.
You will need to be able to work in a fast
paced environment and you will be expected
to be enthusiastic, motivated and keen to
learn.
About the scheme
Our scheme is all about setting you up for a
future career at the most senior level and runs
for 2 years for each graduate.
Challenging and supporting you
This scheme offers the support you need to be
able to excel and develop your full potential.
You will be assigned a mentor who is an
experienced senior manager ready to support
your way around the business. Your mentor
will advise you on your career, help you get
wider business exposure and make sure you
get the most from your training.
You will also be assigned a ‘buddy', a more
experienced graduate on the scheme, who
will also be able to give you valuable, yet less
formal, advice and support whenever needed.
In addition to the on-the-job training and
coaching you will receive, you will also
benefit from the support and challenges of a
range of off-job workshops and development
programmes. Plus we offer you an enhanced
study package, which includes 25 days of
study leave, to make sure you gain your
Chartered Insurance Institute professional
qualifications as quickly as possible.
After the scheme
Upon completion of the scheme, it is totally
up to you which career direction you take.
However, whichever path you choose, our
expectation is that you will become one of our
senior leaders of the future. Our graduates
have gone into a variety of roles, such as
operational manager, business development
manager and geographical information
system project manager, just to mention a
few.
