Where will you be based?

Our graduate Software Development roles are based in Bristol, Norwich, Perth and York. They are all beautiful, buzzing cities in which to embark your career.

It is likely that you’ll balance time in the office with working from home. We call this Smart Working. 3 days in the office, and 2 days from home per week is a very typical example but will vary between teams. When you join us, your leader will take time to discuss this with you, and agree what works best for you, your team and the organisation.

It’s important to note that even though we work this office/home blend, you will need to live within a commutable distance of one of the locations listed above. That way you will get to spend time with your team in person as well as virtually and get access to the right support networks internally to help you to succeed.

A bit about us

We’re a leading international insurance, savings, retirement, and investment business. When the worst happens, we’re here to put the wrongs right.

You might be thinking that we’re just another boring, corporate firm. But we don’t all wear suits and shiny shoes here. We’re proud to be different and just like our customers, our people are a mix of cultures, genders, and ages.

Like the sound of us? Then we like the sound of you.

Press ‘apply’ to be taken through to our online application, where you’ll answer a short questionnaire about your motivations. You’ll also be able to attach your CV. If you match our criteria, we’ll ask you to complete our Situational Strengths test. Pass that and next will be a video interview, followed by a coding test. The final stage is a virtual assessment day, with tasks that enable you to show us what you’re good at and what you enjoy.

Impress us there and we’ll offer you a role to start in September 2023.

Aviva is for everyone:

We are inclusive – we want applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Excited but not sure you tick every box? Research tells us that women, particularly, feel this way. So, regardless of gender, why not apply. And if you’re in a job share just apply as a pair.

We flex locations, hours, and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you.

Most of our people are smart working – spending around 60% of their time in our offices and 40% at home. To find out more about working at Aviva, take a look here.

We interview every disabled applicant who meets the minimum criteria for the job. During your application, there will be an opportunity for you send us an email stating that you have a disclosed disability, and we’llinterview you.
