You will gain exposure to:

- How we design for customer needs and improve the experience for our customers today and in the future in our Strategy and Customer Experience teams
- How we manage revenue and track costs in our Commercial teams

We will give you a career mentor from day 1 to help you thrive on the scheme. To get a taste of what it takes to be a part of a successful market-leading company, you’ll get some great exposure with a range of teams across the business, including our Digital teams, our engineers and frontline customer service experts within Sales and Operations, as well as areas such as PR, Finance, Legal and IT.
This scheme will be based across our Hammersmith, Reading and Slough locations. Our people need to be flexible and open to working across our UK sites to coordinate with teams when necessary.
“No day was the same on the graduate scheme! I got to work on a huge variety of projects, which all helped me to land in a great role following the programme.”
