Early career opportunities in the UK

Stripes in, pinstripes out

Since our beginnings, an entrepreneurial spirit has urged us forward. Learning on the job and developing with every challenge, our UK early career opportunities will see you play an important role in our future.

Take initiative, embrace change, make a difference. Our graduates talk about the unique experience of working at Investec.

Graduate opportunities in 2022

While we redefine our early career offerings in the UK, we’ve decided not to run our rotational graduate programmes for now, so there won’t be a central application process this year. Summer internships remain as usual.

We continue to welcome new talent and there will still be entry-level opportunities available across various Investec teams, such as banking, wealth management and operations.

These positions will see you joining a specific team and developing your skills and knowledge to become a subject matter expert, with access to training and development opportunities within our environment. If you’re interested in joining Investec when you graduate, you can register your details now.

We work to create an environment where it’s easy for people to be themselves. It’s a responsibility we all share.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and offer all of our people opportunities for progression within our organisation. We are committed to inclusive practices through a range of networks, initiatives and learning opportunities. Our culture is one of honest conversations.

As an Investec colleague, we want you to feel happy, healthy, balanced and fulfilled, at home or beyond. Here are the benefits you can expect:

Be healthy

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.

Be present

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.

Be you

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.

Be connected

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 and YoungMinds.

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