Developing your career

Growing our own. That’s how we see it. The better we can train and develop and promote the talent we have here, the stronger we’ll be as a Finance function and as a business. Whatever stage you’re at in your career, whatever your role or specialism, we’ll encourage you to keep learning, keep developing, keep growing.

But your development isn’t confined to professional or technical skills. We encourage your intellectual curiosity as we want to understand and explain the numbers not just calculate them. So we put a huge amount of emphasis on personal development too. Everyone is encouraged to have a performance development plan which is regularly reviewed.

Meet some of the team

Imogen Sida-Page, Financial Reporting Accountant

I joined NFU Mutual straight from university. My family have always insured with them, so when I saw the advert for the graduate scheme, I thought it sounded like the type of company I wanted to work for. The work:life balance here is just right. I’m a member of the sports and social committee, which helps run and organise sports teams and events throughout the year.

I love working for a company that appreciates that things outside of work happen and that those things are really important. It’s a great environment to be in and one that makes you feel comfortable.

Huw Treasure, Partnering MI Analyst

I joined NFU Mutual in August 2015 after being a teacher for four years. I was really impressed with the company’s values and commitments to social responsibility. At the beginning of 2019 I went from full-time to four days a week in order to share childcare with my wife. The company’s been brilliant in accommodating this, so I could find the right balance between work and family.
