2026 Compliance Graduate Trainee Programme, Ipswich

Description

With 48,000 colleagues in over 140 countries, we help organisations make forward-thinking choices about their people, their investments and the risks they face. Joining our Compliance team, you’ll be part of our impact right from the start.

In Compliance, we help the whole of WTW achieve our shared vision of inspiring ethical investment and business decisions. We work with areas and teams all across the business, supporting them to operate in a way that follows laws, meets regulations and upholds WTW’s values. This is vital work, and you’ll help us deliver it to an exceptional standard.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At WTW, we believe difference makes us greater. We want our workforce to reflect the different and varied markets we operate in and to build a culture of inclusivity that makes colleagues feel welcome, valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive work environment throughout our organisation. We embrace all types of diversity.

Qualifications

Requirements:

Our graduate roles are journeys of learning, experience and support. Everyone in the team will be there to help you learn and grow throughout your 36-to-48 months on the apprenticeship programme. To transform your tomorrow with WTW, you’ll need to be:

• A natural problem solver with a sharp and analytical mind

• Comfortable working in a team

• A confident communicator who knows how to build relationships and clearly convey complicated information

• Curious and eager to build and apply your knowledge

• IT literate and comfortable working with Microsoft Office tools – particularly Word, PowerPoint and Excel

• At least 2:1 degree-qualified in any discipline

An LLB (law degree) would also be an asset, but it’s not essential.

Over the course of 36-48 months, alongside the responsibilities of your role, you will also complete a programme of study which will be a combination of assignments and exams. Whilst WTW and the selected government approved training provider, will equip you with all of the materials required, six hours per week to focus on your studies, and the support of a tutor, you will need to ensure that you are meeting all key milestones set out at the beginning of your apprenticeship and achieving the standards required, both academically and in your role. Further information on the apprenticeship will be provided post offer; however, we encourage you to research the requirements of the apprenticeship standard in advance of your interview.
