Finance Graduate Programme 2025

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to earn while you learn?

The L&G Graduate scheme has been designed to help you reach your potential.  You will develop your skill set, gain valuable work experience and complete a fully funded professional qualification, all whilst earning a competitive salary with access to outstanding employee benefits.

With support every step of the way and access to core skills training, you will contribute to the success of a team and be supported by a dedicated line manager.  As part of a cohort of graduates, you will also have the opportunity to connect with your peers and colleagues though networking opportunities and social events.

Joining L&G is the beginning to a future that will be anything but familiar. So take a closer look, get involved, be curious and find out how we will enable you to be at your best no matter who you are.

Please note this is a rotational programme (Cardiff, Hove and London) with the first rotation starting in London.

 This role is due to start September 2025.

Accounting is central to ensuring a profitable, well run insurance business and your work will support the success of a FTSE 100 company. Our Accounting teams work throughout the Group functions including Tax, Treasury, Financial Reporting, Risk Analytics and Expense and Ledger Management. 

You’ll rotate annually over the three years into different business areas and office locations, developing your professional network and expanding on your quantitative and qualitative skills whilst you study towards a professional qualification. Your first rotation will be in London, followed by one of our other central hub locations- either Cardiff or Hove.

Our Graduate Programme has been designed to give you the fundamental experience and skill set to excel at L&G.  You’ll join with a cohort of graduates and take part in our thoughtfully designed L&G Induction, providing you with insights about our business and helping you connect with your new peers to grow your professional network. 

In this role, you will join us on a full-time permanent basis and receive on the job training and coaching from your line manager and team to help you expand on both your business acumen and quantitative and qualitative skills.  Alongside this you’ll study for an industry recognised Professional Qualification. Combined, these will fully equip you to be successful in your role, with the knowledge and skills required to apply to real world business challenges.

The programme offers insight into a breadth of finance functions giving you exposure to Commercial Finance, Financial Reporting and Controls & Governance and by the end of the programme, you will have built a clear picture of where your interests and experience can take you within Legal and General, beyond the Graduate Scheme.

We are looking for people with an inquisitive mind and a desire to learn. We’re not expecting prior industry experience, but we’ll want to see that you have the tools to develop quickly. These include:

• 2.1 degree in a numerate subject; if you are applying from a non-numerate subject, an A level in Maths in essential.
• Strong analytical skills and a high level of numeracy
• Someone flexible who is also a team-player
• Great communication skills
• A highly organised individual, who has the ability to prioritise effectively

Our rotational programme means that you could be working in any of our divisions. This also means moving to different office locations for each rotation too; you will have placements in all of our main offices, which are Hove, Cardiff and London. If your first rotation is in London, your second will be Hove or Cardiff and so on. Wherever you are placed you will be delivering essential services and activities that have a real impact on our business and our customers lives, we enable our people to do what they do best, contributing to delivering a great customer service, profitability and strategic growth.

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
