Build a long-term career with us
Our Armed Forces Programme is designed to allow talented service leavers to gain the commercial experience to complement their existing skills. Our scheme continues to attract many more applicants than we have places - and most of those who complete six-month internships remain at Schroders.
We recognise and value the typical qualities of former service personnel
We are looking for bright individuals with an evidenced background of high achievement within the Armed Forces. Individuals are expected to be degree level educated, demonstrate leadership, teamwork and problem solving skills as well as an interest in asset management.
And you’ll learn from the experts
Our specialist teams will guide you through the skills and aptitudes you'll need and show you how to put them to work in your day-to-day role. You’ll also have access to our online learning platform which will help you continue to develop your expertise.
From day one, along with support from your manager and mentors, you’ll be able to access a network of fellow former Armed Forces members to help you integrate into the business.
Be a part of our award winning scheme
After first winning the bronze and the silver, we won the MOD Employer Engagement Gold Award in 2019 - and we're not resting on our laurels.
“I joined Cazenove in 2019 as part of the Military Internship Scheme. Whilst on the internship I was able to explore a number of roles within Wealth Management and was fully supported by my Line Manager when securing a permanent role. I’ve been promoted twice in my tenure, and really enjoy my role as a Wealth Planner. The company was very supportive with re-training and exam support which has allowed me to develop in both my professional and personal capacities. The scheme is an excellent ‘foot in the door’ and it’s a testament to the programme that we have such a high conversion rate to permanent roles”.
