ASPIRE Graduate Programme

Are you looking for a graduate scheme which gives you an insight into different business areas, whilst strengthening your development through modules and projects? Commencing in September each year, this is our two-year Graduate programme.

In year one, you join your chosen discipline in order to meet the team, settle into the business, and have an impact on meaningful work. During this year you'll also begin six two-month placements on rotation, designed to give an all-round insight into our business.

Following your rotations you'll re-join your initial team to specialise in your chosen area. The projects will be longer, more strategic, and the experience more focused and intense.

As part of your chosen discipline in Commercial, you will be responsible for controlling costs and driving best value for all aspects of our projects. You'll be involved from the beginning, controlling and reporting on cost, then throughout the development process setting site budgets and targets, monitoring costs and negotiating contracts with suppliers so we can keep buying land and building quality homes in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

You'll also benefit from volunteer opportunities, chances to study for further qualifications and will complete development modules including leadership, communication and project management.

During the programme you will:

• Follow a tailored plan with clear goals, feedback and formal mentoring from a Managing Director
• Attend all Group Development modules and Functional Meetings
• Contribute to continuous business growth by taking on projects as agreed with mentor
• Contribute towards Corporate Responsibility goals by driving volunteer projects in the local area
• Give continuous and constructive feedback on the Graduate Programme and act as a buddy to new graduates when appropriate
