Graduates
Graduate scheme
If you know you want to work in technology, but are unsure which area to specialise in, then our graduate scheme is the role for you.
During your two-year graduate programme, you will rotate through different parts of our technology teams, including software testing and development, data, and infrastructure, getting a clear idea of what’s involved in each, and helping you find your niche.
You’ll also get the opportunity to spend time in three unique business placements, where you’ll learn about the different aspects of our business.
