- The programme offers a paid placement of 6 months, with the possibility of a permanent role at the end of the placement.
- You will receive internal and external support to help you to transition successfully back into the workplace, including a mentor, buddy and Returner Coaching from Women Returners.
- As the coaching will be delivered as a cohort, you will benefit from a ready-made peer support group of other returners.
Northern Trust will support you with your personal and career goals in a number of ways:
- Financial – Life Assurance, Disability Plan, Pension/ Gratuity, Annual Pay Review
