Apprenticeship Programme

In 2023, we are offering programmes across the following disciplines:  Claims, Insurance Operations, Information Technology and Underwriting. If you have a preferred discipline, you will be able to specify this on your on-line application form. Typical programmes run between two and two and a half years.

• A Levels or equivalent - Grade C or above
• GCSE Maths and English - Grade 4 or above

Throughout the Apprenticeship Programme you will work towards a government approved apprenticeship and a professional qualification. To help you through the programme, you will be provided with the following support:

• An apprenticeship coach, who will offer guidance and support with your studies
• A qualified apprenticeship tutor, who will provide the necessary technical training for your exams
• A Line Manager from TMK, who will provide on the job support throughout your rotations

You will also be enrolled onto a learning and development programme, which provides a variety of training activities. This will build on your professional and technical skills, alongside gaining on-the-job training and experience through rotations around core areas of the business.

You will be enrolled into our early careers community, enabling you to network with like-minded early careers professionals across TMK. You will also have access to various groups within the London insurance market, which will help you establish a valuable network of external contacts.

You will spend time in different parts of our business so you can learn about a variety of specialist areas. This gives you, and us, time to assess and consider your strengths, as well as understanding which role you are most suited to long term.

A career mentor will be there to support you for the duration of the apprenticeship scheme. Your mentor – an experienced professional at TMK - will be a source of career advice and support.

We believe it is essential that you can keep track of the progress you are making and so we encourage continuous feedback and development conversations. At the end of each rotation, you will review your progress with your rotation manager to identify your strengths and development areas.

We believe our reward policy enables us to attract, retain and motivate the most talented individuals. Our approach to benchmarking means our salaries are highly competitive and every employee can share in the success of the company through our generous performance-related bonus scheme. In addition, we provide a range of benefits to UK apprentices including:

• 27 days holiday, increasing by one day after each year, up to a maximum of 30 days
• A “flex fund” of just over £2,000 per year, allowing you to spend on benefits of your choice – including dental insurance, critical illness insurance, family healthcare insurance or additional holiday days
• Travel insurance including family cover, both for personal and business travel
• Healthcare insurance
• Study leave provision
• Rewards for successful completion of professional qualifications

When you have completed the scheme, we will work with you to secure a permanent placement. You will be asked to express interest in permanent opportunities, and we will consider your successes throughout the scheme and feedback from the teams and stakeholders you have worked with. Permanent placements are dependent on business requirements.

Our apprenticeship programmes will be open at the end of June 2023. Programmes will be advertised on the careers section of our website, our recruitment portal, and social media. We will include programme details and how to apply.
