NHBC has opened applications for its 2025 business graduate programme for three weeks from Thursday 15 May 2025.
Introduced last year, the fully funded two-year training and development programme, based at NHBC headquarters in Knowlhill, will start in September 2025. Graduates will rotate every six months into a different business area (claims operations, commercial services, standards, innovation & research and finance) to learn about key parts of the company and gain invaluable experience working across the business.
Following successful completion, graduates will be rewarded with a permanent role with continuous development in one of the following: standards; innovation & research; underwriting; claims; business support & improvement; customer services; or corporate strategy. Graduates can select their preferred business area at the time of application.
With a starting salary of £27,500, the NHBC business graduate programme is open to all graduates with a relevant degree qualification.
Tony Nicklin, NHBC learning & development manager, commented: “NHBC is an inclusive employer where everyone is encouraged to bring their true self to work. We invite all graduates with a relevant degree to apply for our September 2025 programme. We’ll give them the tools, resources and support they need to learn and develop every step of the way.”
Current NHBC business graduate Fran Hickey added: “I really value the learning opportunities NHBC provides and the wide range of departments I have had the chance to explore. I feel like being a part of this programme has given me a great start in my career.”
