About the Role
As a People Graduate, you'll have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, solve real business challenges and make an impact from day one. You'll gain hands-on experience, develop the skills needed for your future career and build a network that will support you throughout your journey.
Why People?
Our people are at the heart of how Centrica succeeds. From shaping the future of work to building an inclusive, high-performing organisation, our People teams help colleagues thrive while enabling our business to perform at its best.
Across the two-year programme, you could gain experience in areas such as People Business Partnering, Talent, Reward, Employee Relations, Organisational Design, Change and People Analytics. Whatever path you follow, you'll develop skills in stakeholder engagement, data-driven decision making and project delivery, while helping create better experiences for our colleagues and supporting the future of Centrica. Alongside your role, you will also have the opportunity to work towards a professional CIPD qualification.
Support to help you thrive
We're looking for potential, not perfection. You'll be supported every step of the way through structured development opportunities, experienced mentors and line managers, dedicated graduate learning, buddy support and a network of graduates from across the business.
With offices across the UK and a hybrid approach to working, flexibility is an important part of our graduate programmes. You’ll need to be open to travel when required and, for some placements, relocation, giving you the opportunity to experience different teams, locations and parts of our business.
What we need from you:
- Expecting a minimum 2:1 degree (2:2 if combined with a Master's)
- Have the right to work in the UK, prior to commencing work
- Curious, proactive and keen to learn
- Willingness to travel and relocate between placements where required
- Available to start in September 2027
