Tech & Change Delivery Returners - Agile Delivery Specialist

A bit about the Programme: Aviva is offering a paid six-month returner programme starting on Tuesday 13th May 2025, with the expectation of a permanent role at the end. Our Agile Delivery Specialist role will be offered at Aviva’s Norwich office. Aviva flexes hours and working patterns to suit its customers, business, and you. The likelihood is you’ll balance time in the office (minimum 50%) with working from home each week. We call this Smart Working, combining the benefits of flexibility with time together with colleagues. Therefore, you’ll need to be willing to relocate if you don’t currently live within reasonable commuting distance of the relevant office for the role you are applying for. That way you’ll get to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, and get access to the right internal support networks to help you to succeed. Your journey on the programme starts with easing you in on your first day - getting your IT Kit and meeting your Leader and Buddy. This is followed by a Programme Induction where you’ll meet the Programme Leads and the other returners joining. During this time, you’ll find out more about Aviva, the Tech & Change Delivery Returner Programme and you’ll join your first of four Career Returners Coaching Workshops. You’ll get to work (and play) with all the latest tech and be involved in some fascinating initiatives to make life better for our 19.6 million customers or colleagues. Nothing beats the buzz of seeing a project you’ve worked on save a colleague valuable time or put a smile on a customer’s face. Throughout the Programme, you’ll have a great internal and external support to help you to transition successfully back into the workplace, including a Leader, Mentor and Buddy and specialised returner coaching.
