Case Studies

What’s Your Story?

I chose Alliance & Leicester because I wanted to join an organisation large enough to give me serious challenges, but not so big that I’d get lost and have no influence. It’s a decision that’s really paid off.

The way the scheme is designed means there’s all the support and resources you need to develop your career, plus the flexibility to take it in the direction you want. It’s a scheme that’s continually evolving too – now you can broaden your experience through placements in a larger number of functions, such as Marketing and Finance.

You have to be ready to take early responsibility, though. On just my third placement, I found myself travelling round the country making sure all our call centres complied with new official guidelines to combat money laundering.

A positive, progressive spirit pervades the company. We’re a market challenger, not a follower – so leadership, initiative and creativity are really valued here. That makes it an exciting place to develop your skills and drive your career forward.
