Apprenticeships in insurance
Fresh from school or college? Looking to earn as you learn?
Meet Marlie, an apprentice claims handler in Sport & Entertainment, and find out what it's like to work at Howden.
You don’t have to go to university to build a great career. There is another path, and it’s just as powerful.
An apprenticeship with us puts you straight into the action. You’ll earn, learn and grow from day one.
You’ll gain practical experience, build professional skills and work towards recognised qualifications, all while being part of a real team, doing a real job. Some of our most successful leaders in the business today started their careers as an apprentice!
If you’re ready to get stuck in and back yourself, this is your chance to start strong and build something real.
What you need to know
If you ask anyone at Howden what makes us different, they’ll probably say our people.
Because our people own a majority stake in the business, we're people-first by nature. You’ll join a team that supports you, invests in your development and gives you the confidence to grow from day one.
Through hands-on experience, structured learning and support from colleagues who want you to succeed, you’ll build skills that can take you anywhere. We’re growing fast, but we’ve stayed true to what got us here: an entrepreneurial spirit, a collaborative culture and a belief that everyone can make a difference.
That’s why apprentices choose Howden: to learn, grow and build a career with real opportunities ahead.
How you’ll grow here
You won’t just learn the basics. You’ll build the confidence, network and experience to take your career in the direction that suits you.
Ready to take the next step?
Having been here close to a year, you really wouldn’t tell who is an executive or manager, and who is lower down, as everyone is lovely. You can talk to anyone.
