Job Description


About The Role


What will you be doing?


Strong financial performance is the foundation to any business' success, driving development and growth. Working in a group function you will be uniquely placed to support the wider business including our iconic brands. You'll gain insight into a broad spectrum of financial fundamentals including budgeting, financial analysis, treasury and payroll.


What's in it for you?


As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you'll receive a £23,000 salary, as well as a new car every six months (as long as you have a full, clean UK driving licence). You'll also receive 27 days' holiday – plus bank holidays – a discretionary bonus, pension scheme, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts.


What do you need?


To be successful in this team you'll need to have strong numerical, analytical and Excel skills together with robust verbal reasoning and communication. You won't be afraid to interact with people across the business and work to achieve your goals in time and to a high standard.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2025. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement.


We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our undergraduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.


What's the assessment process?


Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know a little more about you.


Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face assessment centre, where you will take part in a range of activities based on real life tasks. You will also have a chance to meet some of our managers and the existing student placement cohort to find out more about the scheme.


This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre.
