Summit – our graduate scheme

Summit provides vital skills for a career in financial services. Through Summit, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a professional qualification and take part in coaching and training to support your professional development. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have. You just need to embody our values and possess the right attributes, including enthusiasm in your day-to-day role and a willingness to learn. Currently, we have graduates working across multiple areas of the business, including business development, relationship management, investments and underwriting, with plenty of opportunities available depending on your career goals.

There are plenty of ways you can help us to provide more than money, including volunteering with one of our Praetura Task Force committees, which are responsible for our ESG goals and arranging social events. Being at a company that’s always looking to give back means you can – if you’d like – set aside to support charities or do more outside of work, whether it’s planting trees or helping at a foodbank.

It’s thanks to initiatives like these that Praetura has been accredited by the Good Business Charter. But beyond accreditations, we want you to feel part of something greater.

• Spearheading green initiatives, such as World Vegan Day and National Recycling Week
• Creating opportunities for our people to plant trees, share transport and make eco-friendly choices

Wellbeing Committee

• Working towards making our people feel happy, healthy and fulfilled at work and in their daily lives
• Responsible for promoting wellbeing events, such as World Menopause Day and Time to Talk Day
• Encouraging our people to take care of their physical and mental wellbeing

Community Committee

• Supporting our annual charity fundraising targets through bake sales and events, e.g. 10k runs
• Leading on community initiatives, including two days supported volunteering per year
• Opening doors for our people to partner with local charities and volunteer in the community

Diversity and Inclusion Committee

• Encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce and eliminating discrimination
• Ensuring all our people feel seen and represented and that everyone is respected and looked after
