Regardless of which team you join within the R&C function, you will gain a depth of experience; getting the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals across our business and engage in development activities with your peers on programme.

Throughout you programme you will build knowledge within the department you are in as well as having the opportunity to build a network.

What Our Graduate Programme Offers

Our graduate development programme provides you with the opportunity to rotate around the R&C function for six-month placements giving you exposure to the wide range of activity undertaken by R&C.

To support our graduates to get going quickly, we provide an induction and development programme giving you access to hear from senior professionals across the company, complete soft and technical skills training courses and get to know your cohort of graduates.

Further to formal structured development programme and rotational opportunities, as a graduate you will be supported to work towards a recognised industry qualification.
