Eligibility requirements

You will need to have the right to work in the UK that is not time-limited and does not require sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route either at the start of the scheme or on completion.

You'll need a degree - this can be in any subject and at any grade and you'll need to be mobile across the UK. What's also important is your commitment to the scheme and your willingness to learn.

The recruitment journey

After you click "apply" you'll be prompted to answer a few questions to determine your eligibility for the scheme. If you qualify, we will invite you to complete an online assessment which you can practice here. Please do not upload a CV, instead we ask you to upload any relevant qualifications to support your application.

Once you have completed this stage, we will notify you if you are selected to attend an in-person assessment day which will be held in York between January and March 2027. It may take a little bit of time between assessment stages to get back to you; we really appreciate your patience.
