Hear what the program is like from some of our past graduates:

Graduates are invited to take part in a three-year program, formerly a two year program of four six month rotations.

At the completion of your graduate program, you will be supported to transition into a more senior role within the business.

You will enjoy a bespoke career plan, a dedicated Graduate Program Support Manager, on-the-job training and development, regular engagement with a mentor and the opportunity to collaborate with graduates across the country. You will also receive an annually reviewed, competitive salary.

Depending on the needs of the business, the programs may be offered in one of two streams. In some cases, a choice of stream may also be available.

Stream One

You will work in one project/department for the duration of your program. As a result, you’ll enjoy stability and the opportunity to develop deep knowledge of that domain.

Stream Two

Stream Two will see you undertaking three, one year placements. As a graduate in this stream, you will develop an appreciation of different areas in the business while you explore which appeals most to you.

Whichever Stream you join, you can be assured that your career will be off to a great start.
