Register Your Interest - Summer Internship

Your Programme

Get a taste of our Graduate Programmes with this exciting Internship. It may only last the summer, but you’ll pack plenty in. Take on responsibility in a placement in one of our Head Office departments. You’ll complete projects, business as usual tasks, and activities that make a real difference to our business - all while working alongside knowledgeable colleagues who’ll guide and support you. It’s a true experience of what it is like to work in a corporate environment. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to build your network with the Graduate community and learn about other areas of the business too. We’ve always been interested in different perspectives and viewpoints. Fresh thinking and new ideas. So we encourage applicants from any degree field.

The internship is tailored to every individual, based on your career ambitions, strengths, areas of development and where we have exciting projects, you will grow in confidence, increase your employability and grow your leadership skills.

About you

You will have the desire to try new things, challenge yourself and develop in a short time. You’ll need the ability to think creatively, work independently but also not be afraid to speak up. You’ll need to be a great teammate, working with your fellow interns, in your department and even across the wider business and external partners. We are looking for a minimum of a predicted 2:2 degree, or equivalent, in any subject.
