Entry Requirements

Our scheme is there for you every step of the way, with finely honed performance management processes in place to help you realise your career goals and push you closer to becoming chartered.

Your Chartership Journey

We have a thriving graduate community run by an elected group of representatives who organise frequent social activities. You will also be assigned a graduate buddy who will be more of a peer support and will help you move smoothly from student to professional life.

Support Networks

Caitlin
Safety Graduate

“I’m originally from Wiltshire so it’s been a big move all the way up to Cumbria – and absolutely worth it! The Sellafield graduate and early career networks organise regular socials, so I have been able to meet a friendly community of grads who have also just moved to the area. This support has been invaluable and has helped me to form a great social circle here. Plus, having the Lake District on my doorstep is the dream!”

 

Omal
Technical Graduate

“Sellafield have offered me the unique opportunity to shape my own grad programme. I’ve been able to choose technical placements across the business according to my interests. Throughout these placements, I’ve had hands on experience across a huge scope of complex projects. My line mangers have been incredibly supportive by sharing their expert knowledge and experience whilst facilitating my training and development. It has given me a fantastic foundation.”

FAQs

• Can I apply to more than one profession on the Sellafield Ltd Graduate Programme?

  During your online application you will be given the opportunity to identify which profession area you would like to be considered for. We get to know you through the recruitment process to ensure that your preferred profession is best fit for you.

• I’m not a recent graduate and have some work experience, can I still apply?

  We accept applications from a variety of backgrounds including individuals who have graduated with a relevant degree. We are also keen to receive applications from people who have completed a PhD.

  If you come from this background, please make very clear any transferable work experience as part of your application.

• Can I send my CV instead of applying online?

  All applications must be directed through the Search & Apply page on this site.

  We advertise our graduate programme on other online media platforms. You will be directed to the Sellafield Ltd website from these pages. Please ensure you do not submit duplicate applications.

• How long does the Graduate Programme last?

  The programme lasts two years. However we’d expect you to progress to professional/chartership status after you have completed the standard programme.

  We welcome a new cohort of graduates at the end of every September/early October.
