People 

Our family of iconic brands offer you the chance to open career-changing doors and our 9-week Summer Internship Programme places you right at the heart of life as a people professional in a FTSE 100 company.  

At Centrica, we have a people team like no other. This summer placement offers you the opportunity to gain experience in a people-related role, such as Employee Relations, Reward, Performance & Talent or Business Partnering.    

Over the 9 weeks you will make a meaningful contribution to a key people-related activity or project, whilst building valuable business, stakeholder, and organisation skills. You will have the opportunity to get involved in fundraising activities throughout the summer and participate in training with our Emerging Talent team. To ensure you have the best experience, all interns will be paired with current graduates as buddies, who will share their insights and experiences. Additionally, you will have a specialised Placement Intern Manager alongside your Line Manager to oversee your progress and help you gain valuable exposure to the People Team.  

Our roles are based across any of our UK offices, including Windsor, Stockport, Leeds, and Leicester, with the team typically coming in at least 2 days per week. There will also be occasional travel requirements to our other UK offices.      

What we need from you: 

• Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree (2:2 if combined with a Masters) 
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook 
• Have the right to work in the UK 
• Available to complete the programme from 17th June – Friday 15th August 2025 
• Interest in People Practices  

We’re a people place

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it. We know that every voice matters, and every new perspective makes us more empathetic and reflective of the 10 million customers we serve.  

You are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet. With 13 different colleague networks, there’s space to find your community, beyond the graduate sphere. 

Here’s what's in it for you:  

You’ll be paid a salary of £24,000 (pro rata) and accommodation will be provided for the duration of your placement, if required.  

About Centrica

Be part of more

We’re so much more than an energy company.

We're a family of brands, revolutionising how we power the planet.

We’re made up of eight brilliant businesses that each make their own impact across every stage of the energy chain.

We Make it. Store it. Move it. Sell it. Mend it.

We do energy differently. We do it all.

That’s why we’re more – and why working here is more than a career.

Powered by Purpose

We’re all united in the same mission: Energising a greener, fairer future.

We’re not just part of the energy transition – we’re leading it. Through innovative green products, intelligent storage solutions and developing smarter ways for customers to use and save energy, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on our planet.

We’re also living our powerful commitment to create positive change in our local communities. Each year, our colleagues are given two paid volunteering days, to support causes that matter to them – and, in 2023, we donated over £1million to local projects that they had identified.

We're a People Place

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels they can belong – and we’re looking for people to add to this culture, not fit in with it.

You are welcome here for who you are, no matter how you see the world, how you express yourself or the journey you’ve been on to get here. It’s our differences that will give us the power to revolutionise the future of our planet.

From parenthood to pride, our networks help our people find their community within Centrica. They challenge us to think and act differently and open opportunities for learning and allyship across the business.

Energise your Career

Your journey is just as important as ours.

All of our graduate schemes are built upon rotations – meaning you’ll have the opportunity to work across a range of brands and business units, guiding teams, driving change and challenging the status quo.

We want to invest in your future so you can help re-write ours. Over half of all our recruitment is prioritised internally – so when we say we’re big on opportunities. We mean it.

We offer more than just a salary. If we do well, so do you. We give all colleagues a slice of our annual profits as company shares. From a great pension, to healthcare and energy discounts, we make work, worth it with access to a host of additional benefits like retail vouchers, gym passes, additional holidays and an electric car scheme.
