Join iCAN sponsor Convex Insurance’s Returner Programme
Our recently joined sponsor Convex have got a great Returner’s Programme we are excited to share with you!
If you, or someone you know, are interested in re-entering the Insurance workforce and relaunching your career in a high-performing organisation with a strong and differentiated culture that sees you as untapped talent, then Convex’s Returner’s Programme should be of interest.
The Returners Programme is a targeted recruitment approach to hire experienced/talented individuals who have been on a career break of at least 2 years.
The programme offers:
A 6-month programme with the intention to offer a permanent role at the end
A buddy to help you successfully transition back to work
A Convex mentor to help guide and encourage
A Career Coaching programme to ensure you have ongoing support throughout the duration of the programme
They also offer training to their managers to ensure they understand the challenges facing a returner so Convex ensures you have the best possible experience as they recognise it can be a daunting time.
Who are Convex looking for?
Any ‘returners’ who are interested in continuing their career in Risk, Audit and Underwriting (Insurance). They are also looking for candidates who have strong skills in coding and analysing data or are just generally strong with numbers to work in their Stochastic Analytics team.
Further to this, Convex’s Data team would love to hear from you if you have strong communication and prioritisation skills and have a basic understanding of coding and happy to learn more.
We asked Group HR Director Claire Ball, why would someone want to work at Convex?
Convex is an amazing organisation to work for, it's fast paced and without any legacy so there is a great opportunity to do so much and take a fresh approach.
I am very proud of our Returner program and seeing our Returners grow within the organisation. It's a fantastic opportunity to make a positive difference with diversity and the number of senior females within Convex.
As an organisation, we care about our Convexians. We believe that family comes first, and we regularly take time to remind each other to focus on issues like mental health & wellbeing.
We are committed to creating an environment where everyone is valued. We offer flexible working options – including part-time & job share options. We also enhanced family friendly policies ranging from generous paternity, maternity and shared parental leave to supporting our Convexians with IVF leave or the menopause.
We have an amazing office in London with access to a multi-faith room and a Wellness Room. The Wellness room is fitted out to:
give anyone undergoing medical treatments (such as IVF, diabetes etc) a private space to store any medicines in a lockable fridge and administer them when needed
provide a place of calm to help manage anxiety, stress or any requirements due to all types of neuro-diversity
enable our new mums returning from maternity leave to express and store milk, using the equipment provided by Convex, in a private space
give anyone who needs a quiet space to cool down (fans are available in the wellness room)
What is your top tip for those interested?
My top tip if you're looking to apply is don't be put off by any of the language in our job descriptions or the function names. If you have relevant experience within Insurance underwriting, data, actuarial, risk and Audit, please apply as we'd love to hear from you.”
Convex are receiving applications for their Stochastic Analytics Returner, Data Returner, Underwriting Insurance Returner, and Audit and Risk Returner programmes until Monday 7th November 2022.
