Most of your time will be spent in Hook, Hampshire, although there will be opportunities for placements in other locations. You need to be happy to travel, but also work from home from time to time, as this is a hybrid role.

A senior mentor and a buddy will be provided to support you and make sure you get the most out of each rotation. You will be part of a larger cohort of graduates in other business areas, and this graduate community is a great source of insight and experience you can draw on.
