Applying and eligibility support
I'm interested in...
Application process
-
Once you’ve found your ideal graduate programme, click the apply button to go to our Workday environment. If you have an account with us already then you can log in, but if you don’t, you’ll need to create one.
We’ll ask you to answer a few questions to make sure you meet our criteria. It’s simple and quick.
-
Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll be taken straight to your online assessment. You don’t have to launch it straight away, if you want to come back to it, you’ll see the ‘start assessment’ task in your Workday home account.
Your first assessment will be around work scenarios, which should take you around 20-25 minutes. You’ll be given real life work situations to see if you share our values. Score well and we’ll take you through to complete either our logical reasoning or numeracy assessments. These will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
You’ll see more information once you launch the assessment, and you’ll get guidance and support along the way. What’s great about completing these assessments is that, regardless of the outcome, you’ll be sent a personalised feedback report to help with your development.
-
Once you’ve successfully completed these initial assessments, it’s your opportunity to tell us more about you. You’ll record timed answers to pre-recorded questions. There’s a mix of motivational, competency, and scenario-based questions, and it should take around 20 minutes to complete.
Every one of our jobs is assessed against the same personal qualities, called Critical People Capabilities. Let’s break them down so you know what to aim for:
- Improver Innovator
- You bring and push forward new ideas, ways of working, and improvements for customers. You learn from experience, are digitally focused and make the most of technology.
- Change Ready
- You embrace change and are comfortable working with ambiguity. You’re resilient, adaptable, curious, and open to learning. And you can work at pace when needed.
- Critical Thinker
- You understand the bigger picture, using information, data and insight to solve problems and make decisions. You have great attention to detail and make the complex simple.
- Connected
- You’re a natural collaborator who works across boundaries and brings teams together from different parts of the business. You share knowledge, value difference, and promote fairness.
- Trusted Advisor
- You’re credible and knowledgeable in your field, keeping up to date and bringing in outside thinking. You create trusted relationships built on warmth, empathy and emotional intelligence.
-
Impress us with your video recording submission and we’ll consider you for one of our virtual assessment centres for a full day of activities. We receive a lot of applications, so there may be a little wait before we come back to you.
The assessment centre will run virtually using digital platforms such as Zoom. The tasks have been designed to explore how you work on your own and collaboratively with others. This gives you lots of chances to show us what you can do, and gives us a rounded view of your skills, how you think and make decisions, and how you build relationships with colleagues.
-
You’ll hear the outcome of your assessment centre within one week. If you’re successful, a member of our team will contact you to take you through your offer for the programme.

However, we welcome applications from anyone if they feel as though the experience would be of benefit to them. You’ll need to be graduating in 2025 but you don’t need any specific UCAS points and you don’t need to be studying any particular subject.
