Project Support and Development Placement
What will you be doing?
You’ll play a key part in the teams’ ambition to have a qualified network, with the capability to deliver. People are paramount in delivering a consistent and excellent experience to all our customers. In this role you’ll support to ensure we have the right people with the right skills, knowledge and attitude in the right role in the network.
You’ll coordinate, compile and maintain key data, reports and presentations. You’ll be part of projects to drive the people agenda. You’ll support key stakeholders across our business, providing insight on all elements of the employee life cycle, with particular focus on development.
What's in it for you?
As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you'll receive a £23,000 salary, as well as a new car every six months (as long as you have a full, clean UK driving licence). You'll also receive 27 days' holiday – plus bank holidays – a discretionary bonus, pension scheme, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts.
What do you need?
To be successful in this role you’ll have an interest in people development. You’ll enjoy working in a strategic role supporting projects to add value to the people in our network. You must enjoy gathering and analysing data and be proactive in your approach. You need to have a keen eye for detail and enjoy working as part of a team as well as be motivated to drive your own agenda.
Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2025. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement.
We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our undergraduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.
What's the assessment process?
Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical assessment and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you.
Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face assessment centre, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real life tasks. You will also have a chance to meet some of our managers and the existing student placement cohort to find out more about the scheme.
This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre.
