Our Insight into Work programme

In 2017 and 2018 we launched our brand new Royal London Insight into Work programme for members and their families

At Royal London we offer members and their direct families the opportunity to do work experience with us through our new Royal London Insight into Work programme. It is open to anyone aged 14 and above, and could help school-age children seeking experience, those who have just left school or university, or anyone aiming to get back into the workplace after a career break.

Opportunities are available in various teams throughout Royal London. Each placement will have a duration and availability date. The two streams available are:

• A full-time, four-week Work Taster placement
  
• An Educational Work Experience placement
  

Four-week Work Taster placement

The four-week Work Taster placement is designed to provide you with a detailed insight into a role where you will perform tasks and work as part of a team. Your placement will provide you with the necessary access and support from your team and will be paid at a minimum wage rate. This placement is ideal for anyone who is looking for a more in-depth experience.

Two-week Educational Work Experience placement

The Educational Work Experience placement is designed to provide you with insight into a role through observing the team performing their day-to-day work. Your placement will provide you with support from your team and Line Manager, and you will receive a reimbursement of lunch and local travel costs you have incurred. This placement is ideal for anyone who is attending school, college or university¹. For education institutions that only require a one-week placement, we can review these applications on a case-by-case basis.

All our placements for this year have now been filled, but look out for more opportunities in 2019. For more information, please contact us at mbxinsight@royallondon.com.
