Underwriting UK Graduate Apprenticeship Programme

Underwriting is the core of Beazley, our Graduate Programme is a 24-month immersive learning experience designed to provide participants with the knowledge and experience needed for a successful career as an Underwriter at Beazley.

Programme participants must be curious; having a growth mindset with high personal integrity; and keen to develop a career in Underwriting with a leading specialist insurer.

Beazley has 5 underwriting divisions, and we are looking for a grad in each area! The recruitment process is done as one ‘underwriting graduate’ pool, but during application we ask if you have a preference for a particular division – you can identify your top 2 preferences, or give no preference at all – either is fine. To help you, we have provided information on each of the divisions below. You will also get to choose a location preference – please note if you have a location preference first, this will automatically remove some of the underwriting division options.

Members of the graduate programme will participate in training rotations across their chosen division’s Underwriting and Business Management functions. This is designed to give you a broad experience resulting in the ability to become a well-rounded Underwriter at Beazley. ​

Cyber:

Our market leading Cyber insurance offering protects businesses against cyber threats by building resilience and minimising risk.

Beazley is a pioneer in cyber insurance and has led the way in the development of an effective cyber ecosystem which protects clients, before, during and after a cyber incident and in the creation of the market's first cyber catastrophe bond and war exclusion.

Digital:

Within the Digital division we provide access to our specialty small business products via multiple digital placing and servicing channels. This offers flexibility of choice in how to place business with us, in a simple and cost-effective way.

Where other companies may ‘digitise’ legacy systems and continue traditional service line-led underwriting, we took a different approach. We created Beazley Digital in 2022, a dedicated cross-functional team organised around our brokers, their clients and their direct needs: offering a powerful combination of access to our specialty insurance products, empowered underwriters, future-facing customer experience supported by leading technology and thinking.

We operate in UK, US, Canada, France, Germany and Spain writing a range of covers including cyber, E&O, management liability, healthcare, contingency and marine.

Training Outcome:

Following the successful completion of the programme, graduates will move into a full-time Underwriter role​ within their chosen division
