What's the assessment process?

Our graduate recruitment process is designed to enable you to show us your true abilities. Once you've hit the apply button, you'll be asked to complete numerical and situational judgement tests. If you successfully complete these, we'll invite you to complete an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know you.

The final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face assessment centre in early 2027, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real-life tasks. You'll also have a chance to meet some of our managers and the current graduate cohort.

Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre and will join us in September 2027.
