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.

What we need from you:

• Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree (2:2 if combined with a Masters)

• 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.

Are you ready?

If you're full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.
