Graduate development programme

1 February 2023

We're delighted to announce that we are launching a 2-year graduate development programme which will begin in September 2023.


Graduates will have the opportunity to join us in either place, children's services or ICT and will rotate in different work placements within their department. Whichever department graduates join, they will take the journey together as part of a group and they will be supported by a learning and development programme and a mentor.

These opportunities are fixed term for 2 years and are for graduates from a range of degree disciplines.

All vacancies are open to both external and internal applicants. We'd love to receive your application. If you're interested in applying, please make your line manager aware.

The new graduate programme is in addition to our well-established recruitment of graduates joining us in social work and occupational therapy. You can search for or set up an alert for social work and occupational therapy jobs on our jobs website.

We also have numerous development opportunities for other colleagues. There are over 300 of our employees who are currently completing apprenticeships across all of our departments to develop their skills and knowledge. Find out more about the benefits of our apprenticeship programme or how we recruit new starters onto an apprenticeship.
