With the deadline for applications to our new grad scheme approaching, we asked our Head of HR Anna to tell us a bit more. Here's what she had to say about it...

"Bettys & Taylors is a business centred around people and relationships, so development is a real focus for us. With fewer businesses offering graduate placements these days, I'm really pleased we're in the fortunate position to be able to open up 10 graduate placements to begin in September this year.

We've taken on graduates before and have some wonderful success stories as a result, but this is the first time we have taken on so many in one intake. This presents lots of challenges (not least reading all the applications we're receiving!) but there are lots of pluses to taking on 10 at once too. We hope the graduates we choose will form a peer group and will benefit from going through their learning and development journey together.

The programme is open to all graduates who meet the criteria. This may include some who graduated several years ago - we welcome a really wide range of applicants.

I'm looking forward to the assessment days in July, when I'll get to put faces to the names on application forms. It'll be rewarding to see the successful applicants grow and develop in their careers here."

The deadline for applications is 12pm on Monday 11 June, so get in quick - and click here if you'd like to know more.
