About us
About us
LV= is the UK’s largest friendly society and today, we have more than 5.5 million customers, of which over 1.1 million are members. We’re famous for providing a first-class service to our customers and our mission is to help people look after what they love in life. We believe LV= is a great place to work and with an impressive workforce of over 6000 employees across the UK. We’re looking to the future with confidence and enthusiasm, as we continue to attract more and more customers and enjoy further success and growth.
We work in a way which combines the trusted behaviours of a mutual organisation, with the competitiveness and performance of a successful plc. Our people are at the core of our business and we have created a positive, motivated team who offer the best possible service to our members and customers. We call this being ‘sharp with a heart’.
What we can offer you
Let’s start by saying that it’s you and people like you and the people who already work with us that make LV= the success story it is today. So it’s no surprise that we go to great lengths to look after you and your career when you come to work with us. As soon as you step through the doors you’ll be warmly welcomed into the LV= family. From there, you’ll go on to enjoy our celebrated and award winning training and support packages. We’ll give you your own development and training plan – and in return for all your hard work you’ll be offered a wide selection of benefits and rewards. But the LV= offer doesn’t stop there.
All insurance companies are the same, right? We like to think that LV= is different. What makes us different, we believe, is our working culture. A culture that encourages you to do well and do the best job possible, whatever that job may be. Whilst we all work very hard, we have a culture that’s relaxed and down-to-earth, positive, purposeful and professional.
We want you to be the very best you can be. Whatever your job, skills or background, we’ll open up a whole world of learning and development to you. Starting with our fantastic ‘welcome’ programme, we’ll introduce you to everything we do and everything you can look forward to. After that, we’ll get you set up with the products, systems and processes relevant to your job - everything you need to be confident in your role.
We believe every one of our employees has the power to shape their own career. Your ambition and hard work, along with our continuing support, will see you achieve whatever you set out to do. Whether you want to move up a level, move into a different function or even a different business area, we can help you get there.
Open, honest and fair….. that’s how we treat our people. We’ve worked hard - and continue to work hard – to create a positive, inclusive atmosphere, based on respect for people’s differences. We’re committed to equality of opportunity and treatment for all those who work for us.
In line with our values, we treat everyone fairly irrespective of gender, marital status, sexual orientation, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, culture, religion or belief, age, disability or any other reason that cannot be reasonably justified. Through our Equality and Diversity Policy, plus all our other People Policies, we make sure that everyone’s valued and treated equally and fairly, with dignity and respect.
