Full job description
A one-year industrial placement in Zurich's accounting function at the Swindon site, starting in June 2027, giving undergraduates a real job with real responsibility. Placement students work on projects such as process transformation, finance support and management information, and receive a buddy or mentor from the start. Applicants need a predicted 2:1 in their placement-year degree, 96 UCAS points and GCSE English and Maths at grade 4/C or above; a numerical degree is preferred but not compulsory. Salary is listed as 24,968.58 pounds, with a 12% pension, private medical cover and a bonus. The advert says applications close on 18 October but prints the year as 2027, which appears to be a typo since the structured job data and sibling adverts give 2026. The advert states that applicants must hold an indefinite, full right to work and reside in the UK, must have lived in the UK for at least three consecutive years, and that Zurich cannot accept applications from anyone needing sponsorship.
