• Play a key role in preparing for the Monte Carlo Reinsurance conference which will include support with arranging meetings, capturing key discussions and producing clear notes to share with the wider business.

No insurance experience is needed; we’ll teach you everything you need to know! 

You'll be: 

• In your penultimate year of study from any degree background. 

• Someone who enjoys building relationships and communicating with a wide range of people. 

• Willing to contribute your thoughts and ideas during team discussions. 

• Organised with strong attention to detail. 

• Able to take ownership of tasks and work independently. 

• Comfortable working with basic data. 

• Adaptable and comfortable working in fast-paced environments where priorities can shift. 

To be eligible for our programme, you must have the full and unrestricted right to work in the UK. 

Application process 

Our application process is designed to help you show your potential, not to test what you already know! 

• Online application form – no CV required: We believe you're more than just a document, so we won’t ask you to submit a CV. Please upload a blank document on the application form. 

• Online gamified assessment: We’ve created games that will help us understand your natural strengths and how you approach different situations. There are no right or wrong answers. You can complete this stage on your phone or laptop, whichever suits you best! 

• Pre-recorded video interview: You will record your answers to a few questions using your phone or laptop, giving you the chance to tell us more about yourself in your own time in a relaxed setting. 

• Assessment centre: Our final stage is an in-person assessment centre at one of our offices. You'll take part in some fun group activities and meet our team in a relaxed setting. This day is all about getting to know you better and for you to see what it's like to be part of Howden and experience our culture. We'll cover all your travel costs for this day, because where you are now, shouldn’t hold back your future!
