Who we are
We get to see the full spectrum of finance at
the Financial Services Authority. As the UK's
sole financial services regulator, our remit
covers four key areas: to maintain market
confidence; to raise public awareness of the
financial system; to ensure consumers are
protected and to target and reduce financial
crime.
In today's financial climate, a robust
regulatory stance is crucial. So whether
we're working with banks, building societies
and insurance companies or financial
advisers, fund managers, mortgage brokers
or intermediaries, we apply the same firm
but fair standards. Ultimately, we're here
to give a strong lead to the industry, ensure
transparency in the system and maintain
London's status as a world-leading global
financial centre.
Our graduates
With such a profound influence over such an
important industry, it's crucial that our people
have the potential to develop and the talent to
deliver. Our graduate programmes are carefully
constructed to give you real responsibility
and valuable experience from day one. As
well as our generalist programme, we have
specialist law, HR, actuarial, economics and
management accounting programmes.
After an intensive induction to introduce
you to our organisation, our work, aims and
your peers, it's straight down to business.
Two placements around the organisation will
give you in-depth exposure to our work, from
developing and enforcing the policies that
supervise the UK's 30,000 financial services
firms to educating consumers.
Your six-month external secondment gives
you the chance to view the industry from a
different perspective, while a comprehensive
range of training modules and professional
qualifications will ensure that there are no
gaps in your knowledge.
Our rewards
Flexibility and choice are our guiding
principles when it comes to benefits. So
whether you want to pick your own or stick
with our standard package, there'll be a
competitive rewards package with your name
on it. The starting salary for graduates is
£29,000 - plus you also get a £2,500 joining
bonus, as well as further performance-related
rewards. The basic package also includes
20 days' holiday, non-contributory pension
scheme, life assurance, private medical
insurance, health screening and the everhandy
interest-free season ticket loan.
Our flexible benefits allowance lets you to
opt for extra holiday (up to a maximum of
35 days), dental cover, childcare vouchers or
travel insurance, or you could simply top up
your pension contributions.
What's more, we've created a strong social
network, with a variety of sports teams, an
on-site gym, and voluntary work, which will
add even more to your job satisfaction.
Our requirements
In addition to a 2.1 in any subject, 300 UCAS
tariff points and the unrestricted right to
work in the UK, you'll need to be a decisive,
results-driven, highly analytical team player
with excellent people skills and initiative.
