Investec careers in the UK

Being healthy means taking care of yourself, your body and your lifestyle holistically. Eating healthily, keeping active, sleeping well and doing what makes you feel your best.

You will have access to excellent healthcare choices, including private medical insurance, 24-hour GP access, onsite physiotherapists (in London), wellbeing subsidy, dental plans, income protection and regular eye tests.

Being present means taking care of your mental wellbeing, so you feel empowered to realise your potential and able to cope with the stresses of life.

We have onsite and telephone-based clinical psychologists, as well as a professional and a confidential 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme that is always there to help.

Being you means bringing your whole self to work. Balancing and integrating your personal, family, financial and work life to create greater harmony and connection.

To ensure you feel valued and rewarded, we will support you with an attractive salary and bonus scheme. We also offer a generous pension scheme, and independent free pension and mortgage advice. Should the worst happen, we also offer a death-in-service benefit.

Also, to support you and your loved ones through the many life stages, we offer generous parental and dependant’s leave policies, and a series of events and activities to help you navigate life changes.

Annual leave starts at 25 days and increases the longer you stay with us. We also offer part-time and flexible working options when possible.

Being connected means taking care of and feeling connected to your social wellbeing. It’s a sense of belonging, purpose and relationship in the workplace, your local community and your environment.

If you’re passionate about contributing to the community, you’re in the right place. Here you can take up to two paid days a year to work with our community partners. We also arrange fun and meaningful volunteering opportunities throughout the year.

You can also join one of the many networks at Investec, such as the award-winning group of environmental champions, Team Green, and our diversity and inclusion networks - Gender Balance, LGBTQ+, Multicultural, YoungMinds, Working Parents and Ability.

We also recognise the commitment and loyalty of our colleagues with referral schemes and long-service awards.

Lucas Hunt joined Investec in 2022 through the Summer Internship Programme and returned as an analyst in the Fund Solutions team in 2023 after completing his degree in Mechanical Engineering. The team provides innovative financing solutions to private market funds across the UK and Europe.

“Coming back to Investec full‑time has been an incredible start to my career. I’ve been able to work on high‑impact, complex transactions from day one, while building strong technical and commercial skills in a rapidly growing area of the alternatives market. What I value most is the culture here - the team encourages fresh thinking, backs you to take ownership, and gives you the space to make a real contribution from the outset.”

Arjun Chopra joined Investec more than 14 years ago on our very first graduate programme and now heads up our Private Capital team, which lends money to high-net-worth individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs. During that time he’s worked in different teams, and in different countries, including India.

He says: “Being able to move around and learn new skills at Investec has given me different perspectives to draw on. People’s vision often starts to get broader as they spend more time here and it drives entrepreneurial thinking. From day one I’ve never felt restricted or unable to have a point of view.”

Channon Allen-Gulley joined Investec in 2016, starting in an entry‑level operations role where she spent two years strengthening her banking foundations before moving into private banking. Over the past six years, she’s developed significant expertise supporting high‑net‑worth clients in hedge funds and private equity across daily banking, lending and long‑term planning.

She credits Investec’s open, mobile and mentoring‑led culture for her progression, from backing her qualifications to the guidance she’s received from senior colleagues. Channon says that support has shaped her confidence: “Investec gives you the space to grow, learn and carve out your own path, no matter where you start.”
