Hi Daniel, as far as I'm aware the graduate scheme is rotational across the 5 hubs (Edinburgh, Bristol, West Yorkshire, London, Manchester)

Hi, does this mean that all Software Engineer graduates will work at all 5 hubs during the graduate scheme? Is there a possibility to remain at one hub for the whole scheme?

Sorry, to clarify there are 5 hubs and you will do 3 placements at any of those hubs. Some people stay in one hub - perhaps because they live there, or want to live there for the entire time. and some rotate through 3 hubs during their 2 year placement.

3 x 8 month rotations, and you could be placed in any of the 5 hubs. With each rotation you have more and more of a say in which city you'll be in, so if you want you can do all 3 in London, or you can do Edinburgh > Manchester > Bristol - if that makes sense?

Is it typical for graduates to work at 3 different hubs for each rotation?

One hub for each rotation

For example I'm in London for my first 8 months, then I could stay in london for my next 8 month rotation or be placed elsewhere

Sorry I worded that poorly! I more meant is it typical to have to move each time or is it possible that you'll stay in one hub for two or more?

Its really dependent on where you want to go (career-wise as well as location-wise) if you have reason to stick to one place, just let them know and they'll do their best to sort that out, if like me you want to rotate, then the same applies :)

Alright thanks!

If you're not tied to one location I'd suggest you choose by team/projects you'll be involved with, but if you would like to stay in one place/move to a particular city - there are options to do so :)
