Role: Supervisor, Insurance
After studying Physics and Philosophy at Bristol University, I joined the graduate programme in 2010 as I wanted to get a unique view of the finance industry. The person I spoke to at the careers fair was really enthusiastic, so I thought it would be just what I was looking for.
At the moment I’m an insurance supervisor. Our team looks after the smaller firms, analysing their returns and accounts to evaluate risks. My day is quite varied working on a lot of different projects, preparing for meetings or carrying out an analysis of a firm. You definitely need to be able to multitask and it’s essential that you have the ability to identify risks at an early stage. As a graduate you have a lot of support. I work closely with my line manager and people across the organisation to decide on a course of action.
I think it’s a great place to work; you get a lot of experience in a short time, your study is sponsored, and we have great flexible benefits. I also feel as if I’m making a real difference.
