Your role as Employee Benefits Broking & Consulting Graduate

The world of work is changing fast. Economic migration, rising retirement age and longer working hours all impact our health and wellbeing. That’s where we come in. With our help, more and more organisations are offering flexible, financial benefits that can be tailored to suit their employees' lifestyles; it’s an excellent way to reward and retain talent.

We’re a business-to-business operation, working with many household names as well as smaller enterprises. Join us and become part of a global team of experts who are changing the way employees use and value their benefits.

From the get-go, you’ll meet our clients, learn about their businesses and advise them on employee reward programmes. By helping to deliver expert advice on the issues affecting them, you’ll make a real difference to their businesses and the way they operate. You’ll spend time in one of our expert consulting areas learning about what we do, how we consult with our clients and how we make a positive difference to the lives of employees across the world.

Whether you're interested in developing your analytical skills, leveraging new technologies or building client relationships, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive and actively inclusive environment, deliberately designed for you to learn and grow. As an Aon Graduate, each day is an opportunity to develop new skills and help shape the future of our industry. Work closely with diverse mentors and explore a range of unexpected niches that play to your strengths. Enjoy the reassurance of a structured pathway.
