Returners Programme
If you have been out of the workplace for at least 18 months and are looking to return to work to a professional, supportive and rewarding environment, then we would love to hear from you.
Starting in April 2019
At Nomura diversity is critical to our success and we harness the value and perspectives that our employees different work and family experience and backgrounds bring to our firm.
Your past experience is invaluable to us.
Which is why, in partnership with Inclusivity Partners, we are launching our first returners programme for Technology professionals, called our Returner programme.

The paid programme commences on April 29thand finishes on the 19thJuly 2019. Whilst there is no guarantee of a permanent position, it is our goal, and therefore there will be genuine consideration for opportunities at the end of the programme depending on business needs and availability of appropriate roles.
This programme is a great opportunity to learn new skills, build a new network and gain exposure to exciting projects in a truly global financial services organisation.
The progamme is available on a 4 day a week or 5 day a week basis.
How will I be supported?
Our goal is to support you back into the workplace and get a taste of a career in a global investment bank. You will have the support of your line manager, your coach and your buddy. Nomura have employee networks that you can join to build your network across the firm. Prior to and during the 12 weeks you will be provided with a pre-commencement coaching and training day from Inclusivity, a one day induction to Nomura, three personal coaching sessions delivered by Inclusivity’s specialist coach, and relevant technical training for your role.
