What we look for

Add a little extra Zip
Of course there are lots of things we look for, like talent, enthusiasm and commitment for starters. But we’ve also outlined a few things that we think will really help you make the leap into a successful future at Nationwide.

Can you take initiative?
We want people who take action and seize opportunities. People who know where they’re going and have a fair idea of how to get there.

Do you have self-belief?
Don’t just be challenged, challenge. If you’ve got confidence in what you can bring to Nationwide, we’ll more than meet your conviction to succeed with the right support.

Can you influence?
You’re already a great communicator, but can you truly persuade people to see a different point of view? Because every now and then, the way to reach the best result is not only by knowing just what to say – but how to say it.

Can you work in collaboration with the people around you?
It’s not just about getting on with people; it’s about working co-operatively with others towards shared goals. Help each other. Grow together.

Do you have the drive for business performance?
We’re not into meaningless jargon. We want to see solid ability – and see you improve performance in a measurable way.

Can you think analytically?
Although we pride ourselves on our relationships with our people, we also see relationships in data and situations. Are you a natural with spotting trends and seeing where we can improve?

If you can say yes to all of these, and back it up with an impressive academic background, you could be just the person we’re looking for.
