A front-row seat to the science of work
When it comes to shaping how one of the UK’s largest organisations works, traditional HR can only take us so far. We need data that leaves no room for guesswork. Technology that keeps people and processes connected. And strategy that’s born out of insight. Exactly what our People & Places teams do every single day.
But they don’t do it alone. Our occupational psychologists are the people behind the people – using behavioural science, research and insight to understand what makes work work better. Join us on the Occupational Psychology Graduate Scheme and see how it all happens up close.
2 years. Three rotations.
You’ll do the hard yards in a training-to-profession scheme that puts you front and centre of occupational psychology in action. And along the way, you’ll:
- Bring your scientific know-how, insight and creativity to the most important challenges we face as an organisation
- Understand how psychology is used in a real business setting
- Help improve performance and wellbeing by improving how we work and make decisions
The work you could be doing
Throughout the scheme, you’ll find yourself touching a range of projects within the People function. Whether it’s assessment and selection or performance and development, you’ll back every decision you make with data and research.
The work you could be doing
And whatever you do, you won’t be doing it alone. A dedicated supervisor will always have your back, so you’ll stay on track with your own development as well. You’ll also have access to a growing community of Occupational Psychologists across the Group, giving you plenty of opportunities to learn and make your mark as part of a function that’s always evolving.
What you’ll take away
By the end of the scheme, you’ll have the skills, the confidence and the experience to apply psychology in a commercial environment – where everything you do will improve how we work together to serve our customers. You’ll also complete a fully funded Stage 2 training, working towards Chartered Psychologist status.
Requirements
- Be eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership
- Be currently studying towards or have completed a BPS-accredited Master’s in Occupational Psychology
- While we do not require a set projected minimum degree achievement, we strongly recommend the ability to be able to demonstrate sound knowledge, understanding and technical skills aligned to the role. Some aspects of this, alongside behaviours and values, will be assessed through the application process.

This programme operates in various UK regional locations, including Bristol, Leeds, and Edinburgh.
You’ll select one of these regional locations and will be based in various offices for the duration of your programme. We support hybrid working, where you’ll be expected to spend a minimum of two days each week in the office where you have been placed.
