About the Role
On our redesigned 10-week immersive Summer Internship you’ll gain real experience, grow your confidence, and develop the skills and behaviours needed to thrive in a future Early Careers programme such as a 2027 Industrial Placement or Skill Development Programme.
On our Marketing Strategy Summer Internship, you’ll work within our Group Customer & Communications function focussing on Strategy & Business Support. You’ll contribute to impactful work and learn from expert colleagues, taking part in workshops, networking events, and activities designed to accelerate your development.
This internship is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, understand Nationwide’s culture and build the foundation for a career that’s fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.
Where you’ll be working
You’ll spend the full 10‑week programme on‑site, five days per week at our Swindon office. This supports immersive learning, strong team integration, and your development into a confident future early‑career professional.
What you’ll be doing
Group Customer & Communications are a driven, creative team focused on putting customers first and turning Nationwide’s mutual status into growth, advocacy and brand leadership. In a world where most banks exist to please shareholders, we’re different. We’re the UK’s first mutual, full‑service bank, which means we’re able to focus entirely on the people who bank with us.
Our goal is to understand our customers better than anyone else, create experiences that feel personal, and build a brand that stands out in financial services. We want to prove, through real action, that being a mutual, leads to fairer outcomes, greater value, and ideas that change the game.
Throughout the programme, you will:
• Work on meaningful tasks that contribute to your team’s goals
• Build baseline technical and professional skills relevant to the function you join
• Take part in structured development activities across the 10‑week programme
• Grow your understanding of Nationwide’s culture, expectations, and ways of working
• Demonstrate your aptitude, performance, and potential through real tasks and shadowing
• Build a professional network
