Working as a Graduate
What we offer
Our rotational graduate programme is not just about learning how to do a job, but also about ensuring our graduates are equipped with the skills and tools they need to become future business leaders. As a graduate on our programme, you will be exposed to all kinds of projects, and stakeholders, by working across four rotations in different business areas. One of these will be a customer facing contact centre placement, to enable you to get a true understanding of our services and how these impact our customers. Each of these rotations will come with their own learning opportunities to develop your personal and leadership skills, which is an incredible stepping stone into a permanent role at the end of the programme, and a great launchpad into your career.
We look for more than just a degree. You’ll need real motivation and the ability to work in an ever-changing environment. You’ll be curious, adaptable, unfazed by ambiguity, collaborative, analytical, commercially aware, and most of all – you’ll be someone who could bring out the best in the people around you.
You’ll have a talent for spotting how to make things better, and for rolling up your sleeves to do just that. And you’ll need to be passionate and self-motivated too, so you can work with us to accelerate your career.
Our eligibility criteria

It all starts with a competitive £2,500 joining bonus and a £28,150 salary, which will grow as you do – with an annual pay increase on the anniversary of your start date. You’ll also enjoy 25 days’ holiday with the option to buy or sell up to five days. What’s more, your benefits are flexible:
- Study support towards the CII qualification
- Pension contribution of 9% of your base salary, you can choose to contribute more than this, and if you choose to opt out, this can be taken as cash instead!
