• Periodically attend sessions with our specialist training provider to build your knowledge and work towards your diploma.

Why Join Us

We’ve got a proven track record of developing early talent – with many of our leaders and experts having joined us straight from education.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for people who enjoy solving problems, have a mathematical or analytical mindset, and are studying (or have studied) a STEM subject at A-Level (or equivalent).

You don’t need any previous work experience in data or tech. If you’re naturally curious, eager to learn and ready to tackle a challenge head on, we’d love to hear from you.

• Predicted or achieved ‘B’ grade in at least one STEM A-Level (or equivalent) by September 2026.
• 5 GCSEs at grades 9-4 (A*-C), including English and Maths.
• You don’t currently hold a STEM degree

What Happens Next

If your application is successful, here’s what to expect:

• Online Maths Test – You’ll be invited to complete a maths test to help us understand your ability in these areas.
• Pre-screen call - This is an informal phone conversation arranged with our Recruitment team to introduce ourselves and learn more about you.
• Assessment Centre (In Person – Cardiff) – If your application and test results stand out, you’ll be invited to our assessment centre. Here you’ll take part in a group task in the morning, meet the team and get a feel for what it’s like to work here. In the afternoon, you’ll take part in a short interview.
• Final Interview (Virtual) – If successful at the assessment centre and first stage interview, you’ll be invited to a short final interview with our hiring manager.
