About us

Welcome to a place that celebrates you and your career. This isn’t about your past; it’s about your future. This is where we make health happen.

We’re known as a leading healthcare group, but we’re so much more than that. With 50 million customers worldwide and no shareholders, we reinvest profits into providing better healthcare for the benefit of current and future customers. Our purpose is to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives and make a better world. If you’re looking to kick-start your career and have the skills we need, we can help you build your career, and you can help us make health happen.

Working here is unique. You’ll be challenged, supported, and inspired to be your best self. We offer development programs, great benefits, and a culture that celebrates diversity.

Current Opportunities

We currently have placements available in Actuarial and Finance and Governance. Gain valuable insights into these fields after your second year at university with our 12-month undergraduate industrial placement. Whether you have a clear career path or are still exploring, we believe it’s important to gain hands-on experience. That's why, during the placement, you’ll rotate across various areas of the function.

No two days are the same during the 12-month placement. You’ll experience a balanced mix of challenges, mutual support, and accelerated skills development through our program. You’ll also shadow senior colleagues to gain valuable insights and expand your network. Successful placement participants may be fast-tracked for a spot in our graduate scheme.

Alongside an attractive starting salary, you’ll have access to a range of benefits, from discounted gym memberships and online classes to support your physical wellbeing, to our Personal Energy program and network of mental health first aiders. At Bupa, your wellbeing is our priority. We trust our colleagues to work in a way that suits them and the needs of the business, helping them maintain a great work-life balance.

Diversity & Inclusion

We embrace our differences, knowing they make us stronger and better reflect the needs of our customers and communities. This means creating and sustaining an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong.

Our approach encompasses diversity in its broadest sense, including gender, sexuality, race, social, educational, and professional backgrounds, disability, religion, age, learning styles, and personalities.

We believe that varied perspectives promote understanding and help generate innovative ideas to solve the complex problems of a diverse and fast-changing world.

Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability starts with our purpose: "Helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world".

As a global healthcare company, we’ve been looking after people’s health for 75 years. It's becoming clearer that to look after people's health, we also need to look after the health of our planet.

By 2040, we aim to be a net zero business that delivers a healthy future for people and planet.

We will be reducing our own environmental impact, and we’ll support others to do the same. We’ll be transforming our products and services that support our customers' health and delivering healthcare sustainably. We’ll also champion circularity – including work on reducing waste and increasing re-use of materials.

Don't just take our word for it...
