The Financial Services Authority EmployAbility Graduate Programme 2008

EmployAbility in partnership with The FSA is pleased to offer opportunities to join the 2008 Graduate programme.

Overview

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is the regulator of the UK financial services industry, delivering benefits to firms and consumers alike. Our remit is broad and our influence profound, from ensuring people get a fair deal in their financial services to maintaining London’s status as a world-leading international financial centre.

We aim to make a real, tangible difference to the world of finance – one where the interests of all concerned are protected and championed. To do this, we’re moving away from governing by rules to guiding by principles. This allows not only for greater flexibility but also a higher degree of innovation and quality of service.

We work with firms ranging from banks, building societies and insurance companies to financial advisers, fund managers, mortgage brokers and insurance intermediaries. As a result, we can give our graduates a unique insight into the entire market.

In these days of the credit crunch the whole financial sector becomes volatile and the FSA’s role takes on even greater importance - from protecting and educating consumers, to ensuring the stability of the entire financial system.

Joining our three-year Graduate Development Programme at this pivotal time, you’ll be at the heart of the financial issues that make headline news. The programme will see you move around three core areas of finance and you’ll also enjoy a six-month external secondment, giving you a fascinating overview of the financial world. We’ll also offer full support to gain professional qualifications and an excellent package that includes a starting salary of £29,000, plus £2,500 to help get you started in London.

We're currently recruiting for our graduate development programme and management accountancy programme (which leads to CIMA qualification), so if you're expecting a 2:1 or above, now's the time to find out more.

To apply for this Graduate programme you must have a total of 300 UCAS points. If there were extenuating circumstances for not achieving this, please contact EmployAbility to discuss further.
