Smart working

At Aviva Investors we have flexibility to work from home for some of the time. This will need to be agreed with your leader and suit operational needs and office capacity. Smart working is about finding the right balance. Flexibility to have a quiet space to focus on some days, and at other times working together with colleagues to innovate, collaborate and build relationships. Find out more.

Colleague support

Our Return to Work programme is a group intake, giving a great opportunity to work together with your peers on the programme. Additionally there will be peer support through the external group forums in conjunction with the returnship programme. Each of our Return to Work participants will also have a business mentor who will provide additional support and guidance.

Comprehensive training

Ensuring our Returners feel supported matters to us. Therefore we provide expert back to work transition coaching, alongside the opportunity to refresh technical skills and personal effectiveness through further learning during the six-month placement.”
